Unfortunately, Factor, this is the law section. Whilst there is a disclaimer people take the advice they have been given on such forums as accurate. If I had a pound for every client who came to me and said "but I looked this up on the internet and asked some advice and I was told blah blah blah", I wouldn't be working!
I've no problem with people trying to help, but with technical areas of the law like this issue is, I think that "guessing" is unhelpful.
There are some areas that are common knowledge and there are some which require more specialist advice. This is why I said that the OP needs to seek the advice of an appropriately qualified lawyer.
