I agree Robo you are correct.

Michael I do not have an e copy but the hard copy's make excellent door stops. The e-copy is about four hundred quid but you do get the supplements so it's always up to date. (Same as the hard copy) However the learned Judge would not take kindly to you handing him/Her your laptop every time you tried to make a legal point. I mean it sounds much better if you all have your hard copies (No Wifi probs) and you can point his/her honour to the correct page/line of the legal argument. E Copies are normally just kept in tandem with the hard copy when writing up a brief they are quicker to search.

Catalanboy. Spain is somewhat the same as the UK I understand what your saying with regards Defamation in Spain..In Spain, the crime of calumny (Article 205 of the Penal Code) consists of offending one's reputation knowing the falsity of the offence, or with a reckless contempt for truth. Penalties for cases with publicity are imprisonment from six months to two years or a fine of 12 to 24 months-fine, and for other cases only a fine of 6 to 12 months-fine (Article 206). Additionally, the crime of injury (Article 208 of the Penal Code) consists of hurting someone's dignity, depreciating his reputation or injuring his self-esteem, and is only applicable if the offence, by its nature, effects and circumstances, is considered by the general public as strong. Injury has a penalty of fine from 3 to 7 months-fine, or from 6 to 14 months-fine when it's strong and with publicity. According to Article 216, an additional penalty to calumny or injury may be imposed by the judge, determining the publication of the judicial decision (in a newspaper) at the expenses of the defamer.

This post is not unlike the estate agent a few weeks ago. I am sure people can make their own judgement with regards having work done or not. Lets talk about nosebag and nice bottles of chilled Chateau St Baillon by the pool.  :D :D :D :D
