Morally bankrupt

With reference to Angling association loses hatchery as Kergord is put on the open market (ST 7/11/13):

I am no lawyer, but from my limited knowledge of law, if indeed the hatchery was damaged with the consent of Shetland Arts and Gwilym Gibbons, whilst still leased to Shetland Anglers, the anglers will have a strong and absolute case for compensation in law.

I would imagine Scottish law would be protecting the tenant’s interests against an opportunistic and self-serving landlord.

What better way for Shetland Arts to free the hatchery for sale, than irreversibly damaging it, so getting rid of a nuisance tenant’s interest in renewing their lease.

I cannot but feel Shetland Arts have shown themselves to be morally bankrupt.

I simply cannot believe Gwilym Gibbons was too incompetent not to know Shetland Anglers might want to renew their lease.

It is incomprehensible that he lacked the good manners to even ask!

This was a simple act of vandalism; a serving landlord trying to make up for a financial shortfall.

I would urge the members of Shetland Anglers to take legal advice here.

The stocks of native sea trout are already precariously low and of infinitely more value than any arts centre.
