The Law Society of Scotland has climbed down on the eve of a court case to decide ownership of a domain it claimed was run by a cybersquatter.
Rather than go to court today - Friday 13th - the owner of Lawscot.co.uk, Tommy Butler, is instead in possession of a £10,000 cheque from the Society for the domain - just a year after it dismissed Mr Butler's offer of £500 as too expensive.
Because of Mr Butler's demand that the payment be free from any other obligations, we are free to report the sum and even have a scan of the cheque itself to show you.

Pretty risky sitting on a law backed domain
