The following excerpt is from Vickers v. IWF MDR Hotel, B277316 (Cal. App. 2020):
A corporation can undertake physical acts only through its individual officers and employees. (See City of San Jose v. Superior Court (2017) 2 Cal.5th 608, 620 [corporations and government entities act only through individuals].) Notwithstanding this failure to specify any person who acted, the trial court properly found that these actions were not sufficient to state a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
