Problem
You are the president of a large corporation which is in the business of manu-tacturing, among other things, chemical products used to eradicate termites. You have just reviewed a confidential report, prepared by one of your top scientists, questioning the effectiveness of the product and the claims your business has been making to homeowners, pesticide treatment firms, and the general public. You have heard rumors that a lawsuit will be filed shortly against your corporation claiming that this product is inattentive.
Who should you turn to for advice?
Should you destroy the report! in which court can a lawsuit be filed? It you lose the lawsuit at trial, can you appeal?
