Blake decision now out |
The house
of lords have now made a decision in the Blake case.
Blake loses, 4-1.

For those who don't know the case, it's another one about
a retired spy writing his memoirs. Blake was a double agent employed by
the Brits but reporting back to Moscow. His memoirs (which are written
in a rather leaden style, more reminiscent of a civil service report or
a police confession than a spy novel) were written to supplement the (no
doubt rather meagre) state pension on which he now subsists in Moscow.
The case is about his English publishers' attempts to pay him his royalties,
and the AG's attempts to stop them.
