For what it's worth I hope mods don't mind me posting even though I am not an investor as I think this may be useful info.
Please can you qualify whether you are a lawyer/solicitor/barrister or equivalent, or not?

Strange it’s been deleted, wonder if John has an explanation.
FWIW I firmly believe that this is a blind alley, more likely to kill off the whole project than ever produce any financial return. And from past experience the operation of civil law in Europe is designed to enrich lawyers above all else.
Most dreadful political decisions are made due to media pressure to be seen to be doing something - anything, and the consequences are invariably unintended.
For those not on Facebook, below is the latest weekly update just posted from John W / Lakewest:
I spent a couple of days last week with the company - it does see we are moving forward - which is good news. My concern is one of time - they are talking about 5-6 months to have software completed. This is the time it will take for there software team to understand and to be able to work with the code...
I dont really have other options ATM, so this is the path I'm moving along, for the lack of choice. I'm looking at ways of simplifying the design to reduce the software burden - but most troubling is the XMOS / software which performs all the advanced digital filter / modulator / timing functions...
To reduce the delay, I will split off the user interface / front panel control etc. to a separate processor - a more conventional processor that I can program - or anyone skilled in C++
From August I'll have office space at the company so will be able to spend more time onsite to speed things up (I plan a sofa I can sleep overnight)... unfortunately ATM it takes about 6 hours drive each way to meet with them so its not so easy - its a major trip which requires overnight hotel stays etc.
I should be visiting them again this week - I'm working on documentation and searching for files etc which is very time consuming...
Hard but battling ahead - atleast I now see a good path forward WRT not only software completion but also production and chassis etc...
Just another opinion. Not that it matters much but just to keep this thread in balance: I think there's a lot of doubt considering the delivery. I very much doubt anything will ever be delivered.John'll deliver, eventually. I have no doubt about it.
Those of you who write openly about your frustration - as I have done in the past - would you please consider whether your posts are helpful at this point in time.
Some updates I've posted on FB:-
As I mentioned earlier I've been teaching myself C++ programming so I can be in a position to write software in the future should the need arise - and I used the software development of the MDAC / FDAC Advanced clock section as a starting point...
