Well almost.. If the FL had been allowed to use the exceptional circumstances clause then Pearson would have won -if he had bid. Bates faced defeat at that moment and he would have been left with nothing and with a big financial loss. That is why the exceptional circumstances clause had to be stopped at all costs and I strongly suspect that it was stopped (at all costs). _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
