(a)

If a record delivered to the Mayor for filing under this title and filed by the Mayor contains inaccurate information, a person that suffers loss by reliance on the information may recover damages for the loss from:

A person that signed the record, or caused another to sign it on the person’s behalf, and knew the information to be inaccurate at the time the record was signed; and

Subject to subsection (b) of this section, a trustee of a statutory trust, if:

(A)

The record was delivered for filing on behalf of the trust; and

(B)

The trustee had notice of the inaccuracy for a reasonably sufficient time before the information was relied upon so that, before the reliance, the trustee reasonably could have:

(i)

(ii)

Filed a petition under § 29-1202.04; or

(iii)

Delivered to the Mayor for filing a statement of change under § 29-104.07 or a statement of correction under § 29-102.05.
