Assignment:
Marilyn, who was employed at Quick Stop, was fired for allegedly stealing at work in spite of her denying the theft. Consequently, she failed to secure a job at Food Cloud after the hiring officer asked her why she was terminated from her previous job. If Marilyn decides to make a claim against Quick Stop, which of the following statements will hold true?
- Marilyn does not have a cause of action against Quick Stop for defamation because Quick Stop is now her former employer.
- Marilyn does not have a cause of action against Quick Stop for defamation because Quick Stop did not provide any information to Food Cloud.
- Marilyn has a cause of action against Quick Stop for defamation because she was forced to repeat the defamatory remarks to her prospective new employer.
- Marilyn has a cause of action against Food Cloud, and not Quick Stop, because the hiring officer at Food Cloud asked her a question that was not job related.
