Amiga Inc. back in court

[Hattig]

Because, make no mistake on this, AInc are still in no position to do real business or to do anything positive for the Amiga.

Who cares. AmigaOS is in the hands of a new parent company now, and from other accounts online, people involved are very happy indeed.

Anyway, surely it is important that the court case is just, not unjust in the name of making things simpler overall and giving "closure". If justice says that Bill Buck should go home with nothing because of his flimsy/faked evidence, then so be it.

[Hattig]

I think the judge will look upon Bill Bucks evidence supplied under perjory that he would have known was not reliable and yet he supplied it as fact, and which in fact turned out to be faked, and then Bill Buck did not inform the court of this. Perjury is a lot more important than a single day difference in a date (hell, could be timezones, could have been signed after an all-nighter, who knows).

[Hattig]

In two seperate depositions (April 30th & August 7th) he said that Amiga Inc owned AmigaOS (all versions from 1.0 - 3.9) as part of a search for Amiga Inc assets. Having it now become known that Amiga Inc sold the OS on April 23 or 24th, this is going to be a pretty big issue.

The initialisation of the sale might have started 11 months ago, and that is the date of sale, but as no information has been released until now, that suggests that the sale was not finalised and completed until now (around last week I'd guess, to get time to write that stuff up with a new lawyer, etc, and the press release notices).

So Bill McEwan was not lying. No one asked him "Are you in the process of selling AmigaOS rights?" did they?

[Hattig]

I expect we will find out how the law works.

Bill McEwan's testimony was made some time ago. Garry Hare's was made recently, clearly after the sale. So what I said is still valid. Depends on American corporate law really.

I expect that this will be one thing that bbrv will try to gain clarification on though in the court case. It is about the only thing he can!
