What to Do Next
Step 1 - Preserve the evidence.
Save emails, documents, files, copies of web pages, video, photographs and so on. Record the times and details of telephone conversations. If possible, unplug hardware and lock it away - do not turn it on again.
Step 2 - Do you have a case or not?
An expert and a lawyer can be useful at this early stage to help you decide if you have a case at all, saving you a lot of money and stress thereafter.
REMEMBER it is not a question of right and wrong or morals - you have to be able to PROVE your case in the court.
Step 3 - Can you negotiate a settlement?
In any legal issue - Re-read the original agreement carefully.
Is there any common ground between you and your opponent? Could you negotiate a settlement, possibly with the assistance of an expert's report? Perhaps a Joint Single Expert can produce unbiased, neutral evidence to let the Court decide the correct course of action?
