1.In terms of the order discussed while I was in court I had though it had been completed.

2.Re: the order prepared as the result of Mr Justice Laddie’ judgement I await a response from our advisors which I will have later to day though prima facie I cannot concur to those elements which appear to run contrary to the transcripts.

3.Mr David Liddle’s letter is his perception of events and no doubt his motives are good. It is true I have urged temperance and would have wished a negotiated exit but that was not possible. It is true that Mr John Parkes became very stressed as his life degenerated into a ‘hell on earth’ on account of this action. Regrettably, Mr Halstead’s without prejudice letter save to costs prompted a chain of events of which a Greek tragedy would have been proud. John is a very highly intelligent man but first and foremost he is a soldier of the old school who will fight for his belief.

4. Payment of costs to a litigant in person is obviously a very emotional and painful subject. That said, we lost, Cintec won. To assist such cost and payment deliberations I enclose a sheet setting out what I perceive as my assets and liabilities, and John Parkes assets and liabilities. Our proposal would be that the Plc pays your clients costs via the purchase of Mr Parkes’ patents which will be fulfilled from out of the subscription capital. This may take six to eight weeks from to day. In the meantime I propose to deliver to you one painting by Richard Parkes Bonnington which will provide more than adequate security for your client’s costs.
