Question

Immunomedics was alerted that there was some negative buzz about the company in a chat room. The poster used a pseudonym, and therefore the company was unable to identify the poster for lawsuit purposes. The only information the company could ascertain was the poster’s ISP. So the company decided to subpoena the ISP for identity information of the poster in order to file suite against the poster. How should the courts handle these cases, where the company’s complaints may, or may not rise to the level of an actionable legal claim?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In a case where the Immunomedics' complaints may rise to the level of an actionable legal claim, a court order could be issued by the court requesting the ISP (Internet Service Provider) to provide the identity information of the poster in order to file suite the individual.

However, where Immunomedics' complaints does not rise to the level of an actionable legal claim, that is the facts are not enough to prove the case, then no lawsuit can be filed.
