Does a solicitor have a duty to report illegal copyright activity (civil)?

[inheritancetrack]

I want to inform our solicitor that the defendent in our case is misrepresenting their earnings and have found online evidence of greater earning than they have declared.

My problem is the person is using copyright material (Disney etc) in the course of this business. This isn't the point of informing our solicitor its just the under representation of earnings. Its actually in our interest this person continues to earn money.

Does our solicitor have a duty of care to inform Disney of the copyright issue?

I am 99% sure they do not have a license

Not a lawyer but ..Your solicitor doesn’t have any contractual liability to Disney, neither do you. You don’t know if your Defendant has a license or not. Pass the evidence to your solicitors. It’s their job ti assess it. It goes to the defendants credibility if they’re misrepresenting their earnings. If defendant then loses earnings because Disney issue a cease and desist or sues, and you do too, that’s the risk you take for whistleblowing. Classic case of you not being able to have your cake and eat it.

In short, no. Your solicitor has no duty of care to Disney in this scenario

No

Thank you. I have no intention of wrecking their business model, but for the legal case, I have to show evidence they are under representing their earnings.
