Publishing – Copyright – Author's Rights – Library – University Support – Evidence
This case involved a dispute between an author and an organisation on author's rights where it was claimed a university researcher's work had been published as part of a series when it had been agreed the book would be published independently. Key issues included whether evidence of loss of university support as a result had been provided and if a book could be used by a library without the author's permission.
