Note. Clause 7 of my 1992 settlement agreement with Oxford imposed 'for all time' non-denigration conditions upon the university and its servants and agents. Henry Hardy (and Richard Charkin and Alan Ryan) had by then left OUP (and Oxford) and thus no longer fell under the scope of this clause as it stood. These three individuals were therefore also actually named in the agreement, which obliged Oxford's solicitors Clifford Chance to serve on them three similarly-worded non-denigration requests. I wanted to confirm that Clifford Chance had fulfilled this obligation, so I replied as follows. - A. M.

Dear Mr Hardy,

Thank you for your letter of 16th October, which left me quite dumbfounded.

I have a single, simple, entirely unrelated question requiring only a yes or no answer: have you since June of this year received any communications concerning me, the court case or Making Names from OUP or its solicitors Clifford Chance?

Yours sincerely, Andrew Malcolm
