Indeed, to sew in the name of a third person is not admittable as far as I know.

They didn't represent the animal, they defended a copyright infringement charge, if I'm not mistaken.

They made representations in court that they identified the specific monkey.

And I'm ... rather surprised ... that they were given anything more than "friend of the court" standing in this.
