Q: Ive got a case against me for deceptive business practices.
My fathet and i ran a small busineas together where we dealt with many clients sending us (animals they harvested) in return we taxidermied them and sent them back to them.if i told a client their animal was done and ready to ship back, they sent us a check, i in return told them we would ship their order soon, i was under the understanding my father was shipping their order and thought he did but with so many orders confusion got the best of us and he thought i was to ship their order.long story short the customer unintentionally got told wrong information and their order some how then got lost.im willing to pay them back for their damages but the state is now trying to charge me with deceptive business practices..... Is this deceptive business practices?
A: I don’t know what you mean about the state trying to charge you. It either has or hasn’t charged you. If the latter then you should hire an attorney to defend the lawsuit. It would be the state’s burden to establish culpability on your end.
