A non-profit organisation doing so much vital good work can be sued by a commercial enterprise on some spurious economic excuse? It's an absolute disgrace. The only positive thing I can say is that Dominique Guillet is an incredibly resilient and determined person and has already bounced back from one such disaster. I can't see him giving in now. Please keep us informed if you find out anything more. This is really bad news, and it makes me so sad and angry to see it.
