I cant see where the proposed new guidance would introduce anything about copyright, particularly from a one man band point of view. (copyright is used four times but only by the crown for the document? ha, ha)
Lets say the proposals did, so the developer had through some contract all copyright rights but they have paid for the post ex but the dodgy units had done a runner with the dosh. The only way that the copyright would be of help to the developer is if the so called authorities would accept the archive as satisfying the condition. I think that they should. In away it is the test of why we record and excavate in the way we do. The archive is intended to be used to write all manner of reports. One of the things that gets me about a lot of reports are that they mask the fact that the actual archive is total rubbish, if it exist at all.
Whats more to the point is that in as sole trader set up I can be hounded for ever to produce the report, not only by the developer but by the conditions of the ifa. Maybe a developer is much better off employing a named archaeologist....(rather than a counsoleltant)
