  Clarification

  on UK Lawyers Who Originated 'Pay Up Or We'll Sue' Knew They Were Threatening Innocents
  (For what it is worth) I am a UK lawyer.
  
  Probable cause is not relevant in the UK. In any event Davenport Lyons ("DL") are pursuing civil remedies.
  
  The objections to the action taken by DL (and other firms who have subsequently followed this path) are as follows:-
  
  1. The evidence they seek to rely on is questionable and has certainly not been tested;
  
  2. The business model appears to be to frighten the recipients of the letters irrespective of proof; and
  
  3. Claim a level of damages which bears no relationship to the actual loss which has been alleged.
