District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided March 4, 1974No. 7424PublishedCited by 3 opinions
1Per curiam
This appeal was briefed and argued by counsel on a number of issues, chief among them being whether Rohe Scientific Corporation (Rohe), a foreign corporation, was required by D.C.Code 1973, § 29-934f(a), to obtain a certificate of authority to transact business within the District of Columbia in order to maintain this suit against Hargrove Displays, Inc. in Superi- or Court. 1 With respect to the applicability of § 29-934f the trial court found, and we agree, that Rohe was not transacting business in the District of Columbia within the meaning of the statute and it was therefore inapplicable.
