Though
the plot of this paper would have been lost by diversions into the various legal
opinions, the writer has working knowledge of them.
Interested readers will find them most conveniently via the
Equitable Members Action Group and Equitable Life Members Support Group
websites. Writing
this paper would have been beyond the abilities of any one person had it not
been for the patiently accumulated labours and thoughts of many people.
Much of it is on the websites listed above. The author is happily beholden to them all, and to those
whose constant efforts maintain the sites themselves. Beyond this, he has enjoyed the help and involvement of
Michael Josephs, Nicholas Oglethorpe and Peter Scawen in taking this paper
through its various drafts. Its
form, quality and content owe much to them.
Despite their best intentions there must be imperfections- but these are
the author’s. Dr
