This man owes my poor DH over £8000, how can we get it off him without knee-capping?

Long story, but basically this man \link{http://www.ethnikcity.com/here} employed my dh in 2001 as his web designer. He designed most of this site, and never got paid. After an employment tribunal, the man (don't want to mention his name but he's the one with Tony Blair) was ordered to pay us the £8215 we were owed, but he ignored all requests, never showed up and disappeared. Now this has appeared with dh's work on it, and I'm sure he is going to rip more people off (we have met another man that lost a lot more than we did). What shall we do?? I don't want antone else to be conned like we were. You'd think that with TB in the pic etc he would be reliable.. how wrong can you be?

If his previous company went under, presumably your debt went under with it [sad}
But surely the intellectual property belongs to your dh, and they are not allowed to use it .
The only thing I would say is do what you can to recover what's yours, but don't get too eaten up by it, because it can be so draining.

But you would still be a creditor of the company.

fairyjay, we've put it behind us now, it was a while ago... it would just be a bonus to get one back

He has to admit the debt within the six year period. if he denies it or you can't get hold of him, after 6 years it's gone. Move quick !!!
