[Note 1] MCO later retained an attorney, who moved to vacate the District Court judgment and to recall the execution on the ground that MCO had been unrepresented by counsel. That motion was unsuccessful, for reasons not apparent on this record. But see Varney Enters., Inc. v. WMF, Inc., 402 Mass. 79, 82 (1988) (with exception of small claims proceedings, "corporations must appear and be represented in court, if at all, by attorneys"). In any event, at trial in this case, Cummings disavowed any reliance on the District Court judgment, stating that it was pursuing only its rights under the lease and the guaranty.
