Under Orders by Dick Francis

Under Orders by Dick Francis

I was put under orders by Dick Francis’s solicitors not to infringe on the copyright in anything out of his book ‘Come to grief’. This was because Dick Francis used part of my life and that of my family as the basis for ‘Come to Grief’.

The situation is just the opposite! Dick Francis in doing this has infringed on my copyright, and if you want the copyright law that covers this it is under (The designs & Patents act singularity of letters.) Dick Francis actually used information out of my correspondence to him; even using the fraise ‘Come to grief’ for the title came out of one of my letters! If this law is good enough for Prince Charles, then it should be good enough for me.

Of course I haven’t copied anything out of ‘Come to grief’ in my autobiography ‘Bad Blood’, how could I my life is real, and his book ‘Come to Grief’ is fiction, but if you read and compare the two books you will find ‘Come to Grief’ is based on facts out of part of my life and that of my family.

Below is the press release I sent out.
