Statement: In case of any difficulty about this case, you may contact our company's lawyer.

Assumptions:

  1. Each company has a lawyer of its own.
  2. The company's lawyer is thoroughly briefed about this case.

Only assumption I is implicit
Only assumption II is implicit
Either I or II is implicit
Neither I nor II is implicit
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option
Explanation:
No decision can be made regarding other companies. So, I is not implicit. Since one is advised to contact the company's lawyer in case of any problem, it means that the lawyer is fully acquainted with the case. So, II is implicit.

There is no mention that the second instance of the word case has anything to do with an actual legal case! It could simply be that a person has walked into a suitcase shop and that the word case is generally used by the company employees and customers in referring to an actual suitcase.

Therefore the customer or anyone else is simply being told that if there are any problems with the case/ suitcase that they can take it up with their lawyer. The lawyer may or may not be briefed about the stupid case so neither are implicit.

@Start, because the lawyer is briefed about this case he is being referred. That is the assumption otherwise there is no point to referring the lawyer.

IMO, even if a lawyer is acquainted with this 'category' of case, it does not mean that he is briefed about this 'particular' case.
