Would it make sense to pursue a class-action claim against Princeton and the researchers to recover everyone’s legal costs and business disruption costs? Probably wouldn’t be that difficult to get the contact information of every business that was contacted during discovery, right?
- Ekaros 5y agoI wonder if there really is a case. I don't think you can sue anyone for your needs of fulfilling your legal obligations. After all, if these people had fulfilled their legal obligations they could have given response with minimal cost.
- dawnbreez 5y agoNot a lawyer, but I'd imagine the most useful point to make is that the researchers misrepresented their identity while sending these threats. Lying about who you are while trying to sue someone is a pretty big no-no.
