We're not talking about a breach of law, but a possible contempt of court. This allows the judge great latitude in deciding whether contempt has occurred, and he may decide that under the circumstances a greater contempt of the process was behind it all.

Kololi, there is a big difference between actively distributing something to the masses, disregarding promises and supplying something just the once, on the basis of an individuals own personal research, which after some trouble obtaining it, he did.

Precisely Ross. He was not distributing it as in handing it out off his own back, he was assisting someone allegedly to do research.

And if we want to split hairs. One shows intent, the other does not.

Nice one stella, and Ross
Is 'intent' the critical angle that the courts would be looking for here ? or just the breach ?

We are looking at the mens rea now?

Mr Bennett owns up to actively having to track a leaflet down with the intention of supplying it to Peter Pumkin, or Dolly Daydream or whatever name Mike Gunnill was using, in exchange for money.

I see intention to sell a leaflet there and that's not including the intention (that was plastered all over this forum and others at the time) to supply a load more to Sym so that she could sell them on his behalf.
