The provincial government thought that the only way to make businesses competitive with those from other countries was to make more information available to them about market conditions, currencies, etc. around the world. It began a program of incentives that included a government office that would give people not only business information but also advice on how the businesses could link to the government's database that held the information. Mr. Su relied on some information given to him by Alex Chec, an employee of the government. The information was wrong due to a mistake made by an operator entering data. It was Chec's job to cross-check that information before it was released to the public. He forgot to do this. Su suffered a $10 000 loss because of the error. Which of the following is true?
◦ The operator may be found liable for negligence if Su, the plaintiff, can prove, among other things, that she owed him a duty of care.
◦ If Su sues the government on the principle of vicarious liability, he cannot also sue the employee, or employees, at fault.
◦ The court must find only one party liable and that party must pay for all damages.
◦ Su could not take any action because he had not entered into a contract with the government for this information.
◦ Su could not take any action because he suffered no physical injury. The case deals only with information.
