In the meantime, Attorney at Law Mr. Sunil Watawala who expressed ideas about Chief Secretary of his party filing action in Colombo Commercial High Court against the publication "Neththa Wenuwata Eththa" authored by Wimal Weeravansha basing it on documents of the central committee of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna said that according to the Intellectual Property Act it is a historic victory and that some letters written by secretary of the party, Mr. Tilvin Silva were subjected to discussion only within the central committee of the party. The attorney at law further pointed out that the said letters were stolen, a book was published, was sold and a profit has been obtained thereby and court has concluded that such acts tantamounts to violating the Intellectual Property Act. Under these conditions the court has decided that damages amounting to Rs. one crore(10 million) should be paid to Mr. Tilvin Silva of Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna and that if steps are not taken to pay that amount of money, according to legal provisions a list of assets of Wimal Weeravansha will be forwarded to courts.
