Yes, absolutely agreed. I forgot to mention that I did seek specific
advice on that in late 2010 with relation to the Counter Terrorism
Act and it is very clear that if you agree that not updating a
canary is a disclosure then Section 19 (1) of that act trumps any
contractual clause you could construct:

I haven't sought advice on same for IP Bill but I would be surprised
if it isn't similar.
Cheers,
Andy
