California Court of Appeal

The trial court properly granted defendant-corporation's motion to set aside the default and default judgment obtained by plaintiff, where the service on defendant-corporation was defective because: 1) plaintiff left a summons and complaint with someone who was in charge of a branch office of defendant-corporation and then mailed defendant-corporation, rather than any individual officer or manager, a copy of the summons and complaint; and thus, 2) did not use any of the methods prescribed in the Code of Civil Procedure for service of process on a corporation.
