(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:

(2) 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

(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.
