Question: My company is being sued for disputes related to another company based in a different country but with the same name. How should we respond to the lawsuit to clarify that we are not the correct defendant?
Answer: In a case where a company was mistakenly sued for actions of another company with a similar name, the company may file a response to the lawsuit stating that the plaintiff needs to amend the pleading to clearly state the correct party, and request that the court dismiss them from the lawsuit as they are the improper defendant.
