I think the law firm will raise it if the story is genuine, probably why they are going for hotels rather than pubs though
Sorry if I seem overly passionate on this one, partly it is because I hate ambulance chasers. But mostly we have a nice site here that I would like to grow and I live in fear of this sort of legal case forcing us to just kill the site. It is not difficult to see a scenario where we get destroyed by a relatively small legal case, so I would rather it doesn't come into fashion.
