Principle:
If you create an unfair situation β you are obligated to correct any unfair results of that situation
Problem:
Thimble corporation distributed rebate coupons, some of which had an expiration date that was too early. This created an unfair situation in which some customers mistakenly thought that the rebate offer had already expired (and so didnβt use the coupons when they actually could have).
The Thimble corporation created the unfair situation by distributing some coupons with a mistaken expiration date. So some people didnβt realize the coupons were actually still in effect. We can conclude that the Thimble corporation should try to correct the unfair result β they should try to make sure that the people who had the coupons with the mistaken expiration date are able to get the discount that they would have gotten if they had actually used the coupon.
