Holder of Class A Contractor's License can Perform Class C-12 Work, and Receive Compensation for It

California Bus. & Prof. Code §7031, bars an action in law or equity for recovery of compensation for contract work, unless plaintiff was a duly licensed contractor. Contractor ('CT') hired subcontractor ('SC') for excavation work and their contract required SC to hold a class C-12 license. CT refused to pay SC because SC did not hold a C-12 license, and the Class A license which SC held was suspended for 3 mos. during the project. Held: Class A general engineering license sufficed for this project as the lesser Class C-12 license was fully encompassed within the Class A requirements.
