A Bit of a Choshen Mishpat Question…

I wrote two Megillas Esthers between 2022 and 2023. The first one was an 11-line Megillah, and the second one was a 21-line Megillah.

After I had both of them written, I gave them to a store to have them computer checked back in October 2023. They returned the megillos to me with the reports.

During the winter of 2023-2024, I used the report they gave me to make corrections to the 21-line Megillah. The other Megillah (the 11-line) was put on a shelf and not corrected or used. (I used the 21-line one every Purim since then.)

Over Shabbos, my daughter asked about the computer checking process, so I pulled the 11-line Megillah and its report off the shelf to show it to her (since I still had the report and the Megillah had not yet been corrected). However, after checking several of the issues they mentioned in the report, it became clear that the report that I had was not for my Megillah. None of the issues they reported were present in this Megillah. (Yes, I did get my actual Megillah back… it was just the wrong report.)

Admittedly, it’s been over two years, and I let it sit without looking at it, and that’s totally on me. On the other hand, I never actually received a report for this Megillah, which I paid to have checked.

Do I have a valid case to go back to the store? Or should I just let it go and re-pay to have it checked again?
