our non paying client now looks to be resolved....
the local authority refused to remove documents being used from their
planning portal.... which surprised me to be honest
client responded to potential injunction to get them to remove our reports
from the planning process
few things learnt during this excercise:
1) How copyright is automatic - useful guide regarding copyright we found
was here
http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/layer?topicId=1073942615
worth reading for both regulators and consultants - not sure how the
planning portal addresses copyright? bit of a grey area i imagine? I don’t
profess to be a legal expert but putting someone elses copyrighted
intellectual property on view to everyone sounds a bit risky without checking
its ownership first?
2) how legal fees can double the cost of an unpaid bill! bet he wishes that he
had resolved this before being forced to legal action....
3) always make sure the company / person has money / assets before going
legal !
