There were two especially bizarre claims in the Techrights case:

1) I had conspired with someone else to launch an associated claim (by which he means someone else who felt Roy had defamed him asked me who my solicitors were and I told them) and the two cases should be merged
2) My legal fees were being paid by someone else (heavily implied to be either Microsoft or someone associated with Microsoft), which would have been nice if true because I'd be able to afford a very nice time off work now
