Plaintiff then relies on Asdourian v. Araj (1985) 38 Cal.3d 276, 211 Cal.Rptr. 703, 696 P.2d 95 for the proposition that the purpose of section 7031 is to protect the public from marginal, incompetent and fraudulent contractors, and that the legislature never intended to bar a just claim by a competent company dealing in California in an isolated transaction.
