Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Connecticut
What Should Company Do?
Five years ago a town searched for vendors for a project. They found one potential vendor online, Company X, but could not find much information about the company. The town then emailed a company specializing in information searching and asked if they could find information about Company X. They wrote ''We searched the internet and all business databases we could find but we could not find anything about Company X. The address they have listed online does not exist (actually the address does exist, the town did not do a thorough job of information gathering) Can you please provide any and all information you can find''. The town then posted this email on their website where it has remained for five years. Company X just became aware of the email and believes it has hurt their reputation. Company X also believes the town should not have left the email posted for so long. Does company Company X have any legal recourse? What is the appropriate thing Company X should do?

Re: What Should Company Do?
What about just asking the Town to take the notice down? If you are seeking damages, the cause of action would be for defamation, probably, but there are a ton of hurdles in this. Just ask for them to take the notice down and replace it with a notice of your correct address.
