1. I'm the editor who was sued by Australian principal Esler.
   It was such a relief when three separate Church officials sent me a 'leaked' letter to the governors from him saying that he had decided to drop the case to protect the reputation of the college.
   A couple of papers also published this news.
   I was very shocked last night then to receive the Court Order by email.
   Next day the paper version arrived.
   I have until 23 November to reveal the name of a person whose letter I requested, published and edited last month.
   I have no intention of doing this. The penalty for contempt of court could be 28 days.
   It is not a nice feeling to have this hanging this hanging over my head.
