“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

I suppose they could use a sort of “defamation” or “misinformation” angle, still maintaining that the info doesn’t exist, but simultaneously stating that the leak is not just false but in fact entirely fabricated as a hoax or libel or whatever.
