He needs to make sure his staff employees know enough about a product to advertise in the newspaper and they are accurately representing to its customers, and not to make up something they do not know. His defences might be successful when he has a proof to show a memo given to a staff employee arranging a local garage to give a technical description of the damaged tractor to allow a tender advertisement to be placed in the newspaper.
