I think you may be correct, Treewind, except that what I read on The Clarion seems to be information that is really in the public domain already. I share your view that Sharpley would have commenced action before now other than for the fact he is technically unable to mount legal action as a solicitor, but more importantly because it would appear that the contents are correct and not libelous. I am certain that Bulmer must be champing at the bit for action but even he must realise by now that the game is nearly up and the more he protests the worse the end result will be for him. From everything I have seen written about these two, it can only be a matter of time before one or other, or both, will face serious criminal charges quite aside from those now facing Neil Sharpley. I have researched into copyright irregularities and note that there are quite serious issues for infringement that can result in heavy fines and/or prison. The sheer weight of ever increasing evidence against Mr B and Mr S must surely be giving them cause for poor sleep! The Pat Cooksey case may well open the floodgates and others will then be able to go in "on the coat tails". With Mr Sharpley very liable to be sent to prison for criminal deception (taking into account his then status as a solicitor/coroner) Mr Bulmer will then be exposed and it will be interesting to see with what grace the once mighty entrepreneur concedes defeat. We shall see. It cannot be too long now.
