Pro bono or Conditional Fee Arrangement (CFA)?

maybe kate will write another million pound best seller

I would think that boat has floated now unless it is about her continued battle suing Amaral.  I can't see that being a best seller, can you?

Yes I can....along with everything else that has happened..and I believe they have been offered large sums to appear on chat shows

I would agree.  The public have had access to the files and everything that goes with them for some time now, even their own son is questioning the whole sordid episode apparently..

What about a book explaining what really did happen that night?

Good for him, though I'd have thought he'd have been thoroughly brainwashed by now.

Perhaps a step too far

Can you exlain your post please ?

That could be the title "Madeleine McCann: A step too far"

One thing I am sure of is that the McCanns won't be using their own money to pay towards Goncalo Amarals legal fees they will use the fund. Why do I think this, well they used the fund to sue (and lose).

This of course is my opinion, should anyone care.

[Alice Purjorick]

How are the McCanns going to pay Amaral anyway as it is their debt and not that of the Maddie Fund?  Will Rothley Towers be appearing on Purple Bricks any time soon??

ETA. There's always the possibility of some creative accounting though I suppose.  

It does not need to be particularly creative.
One side will say "how very dare they" the other side will say "they would not do that"
Nevertheless there is perfectly reasonable simple and legal way to do it.
At Christmas I will give an orange to anyone who works it out.

I have asked Angelo to explain this post but appreciate he may not have seen my request.
Does any other member have information about this claim that " even their own son is questioning the whole sordid episode apparently"?

What absolute rubbish...no cite as usual...that really is a disgrace to claim such as that.... almost certainly libelous

Of course not... Angelo is making things up

It is not impossible so we should just wait for an explanation.

Where did the remaining money in the fund come from given the evidence that there have been occasions when the fund had been depleted to the edge of extinction?

I seem to remember something about money paid in libel settlements being paid directly into the fund and I seem to remember something about the considerable proceeds of a best selling book also being paid in.

In my opinion no-one "owes" Goncalo Amaral the time of day let alone a brass farthing.  When Amaral similarly lost a libel action and was ordered to pay all court fees as a result, the money to be paid went to the Portuguese State and lawyers.
I understand that Amaral's lawyers fees in this case have been met by charitable public donations.
