Harm To Economic Relations
Joseph's Seafood Market was preparing for its annual "Whale of a Sale" event. A local food critic published an article mistakenly stating, "Joseph's sells whale fillets," instead of writing that the market was having a "whale of a sale on fillets." As a result of the publication, community members boycotted the store. What legal recourse does Joseph have?
AHe has little legal recourse because the statement was an unintentional error, although a retraction is warranted.
BHe can sue for defamation of character because the community now believes he is a fraud.
CHe cannot sue because he is unable to prove that the fillets are not from whales.
DHe can sue for harm to economic relations because the false statement caused a loss of business.
