    The real uncertainty we all find ourselves in is knowing the legality of arguments for/against!

    But they haven’t yet done the one thing that would ensure people pay up - which is taking someone to court, arguing that money is owed and the court agreeing with Felicitas.

    yes I know they claim to be doing that with their Statutory instrument cases but that isn’t true and we should have killed that risk off for everyone who reads this forum and did what we told people to do.

    They may not have given up but extracting any more now requires committing (risking) a lot of time and money to it.

    That's not quite correct.

    If you were to join WTT (or one of the other groups), then Felicitas wouldn't attempt to take you as an individual to court, as they would be advised that you're part of a group action so to speak. By trying to then take you to court, my belief is that WTT (or another) would then step in. Ask WTT (or another) if that's the case or not though.
    That is the case, WTT will step in with thier legal team and represent the group.

Piece of mind perhaps that i'm part of a group? but then if I'm taken to court it will be on an individual basis is my understanding.

    I'm thiking that if Felicitas ever takes me to court i'm going to have to pay someone to represent me anyway so i'll wait till then.

    My comment would be that were it to hit court £800 to get your lawyer up to speed would be money well spent compared to paying a lawyer to read everything and check things out.

    the unknowns are:
    1. will Felicitas actual take someone to court except via the Statutory demand approach everyone on here should have avoided.
    2. where would the case be held as it should be in the IoM but there are issues doing it there (you need to pay
    i think I would wait and see

    Nah.. to semi-quote Felicitas, I'd rather wait till a judge decides that I must pay !
