Practice question
A company unlawfully uses false personal information about a customer, causing documented financial loss. It later corrects the record and argues that correction automatically extinguishes every possible indemnification claim regardless of the sustained loss. No defense or exemption is established. Which follows the distinct Section 16 rights?
- Correction retroactively proves no loss occurred
- Correction and the right to indemnification for the specified sustained harm are distinct; the latter is not automatically erased by later correction
- Only criminal imprisonment can be sought
- Every correction transfers all company assets
- Damages are automatically payable without proof of any loss or cause
