UPDATE Fri 5 Oct | Whirlpool finally received the Notice of Discontinuance in yesterday's mail.
UPDATE Wed PM | Whirlpool received a response late today from 2Clix solicitors Turnbull & Co, stating that it has received instructions to discontinue the case and that it will "attend to preparation of the Notice of Discontinuance".
Whirlpool has responded to media speculation that the 2Clix case against Simon Wright has been dropped.
Simon Wright and the Whirlpool legal team can confirm that they received informal notice from an employee of 2Clix that there may be an intention on the part of 2Clix to withdraw their Statement of Claim against Simon.
However Queensland Supreme Court records still show (as at time of posting this statement) that the legal action is current and active.
Whirlpool legal representatives have made repeated efforts to obtain formal confirmation from 2Clix' legal representatives, Turnbull and Co without success. As such, we do not believe it appropriate to state that the action has been withdrawn and will not make such statements until the matter is finalised.
Whirlpool removed donation links soon after receiving the note from 2Clix. A statement that donations were discouraged due to uncertainty about what legal costs would be was already in place in every thread prior to this. Whirlpool intends to offer refunds to those that want them, once the matter is formally withdrawn and the extent of our legal costs are known.
