After judgment can a plaintiff amend the complaint giving the real name of my business rather than our old name?

M y company incorporated in 2007 and dissolved in 2008. I kept the old name after that. The small claims complaint was against me and the corporation. Afterward they want to amend adding my sole proprietorship business. I argued that it would be prejudicial without a trial to hold me liable.

No, a complaint must name the proper party in order to hold a judgment against a person or business. An entirely new lawsuit would need to be filed.

The plaintiff made the original complaint against you and the corporation then, unless they have new evidence, they should not be permitted to amend and make you solely responisible. After the trial has taken place,but not before, if you are found solely liable then they could technically have found you liable for this case; but not before trial takes place.

I understand about the new evidence thing. But wouldn't finding out the legal name of my business be considered new evidence?
