I have submitted an appeal against the UK broadcast regulator for their failure to prevent 5 Local TV broadcast licenses breaching the law.

So far I have prepared a legal case with 764 pages and submitted it to the Competition Appeals Tribunal. Ofcom is fighting against the case even though the evidence is very clear.

I know need some legal support but need to raise about £5,000 to cover the initial work and it may need up to £20,000. I have support other legal cases with the odd £50 here and there and wondered if you can spare something similar then that would really help. Everyone who donates will be invited to the launch of the new Scottish TV channel that I am planning to launch using the 5 Scottish Local TV licenses.

I have a detailed business plan for the TV channel and have attracted interest from potential private investors but I need to fund this legal case. I spent many months preparing the case papers to get it this far but I could do with some legal expert advice and that costs money. Thank you for your time to read this and I hope you can help.

The funds raised will only be used to cover legal fees. Anything left over I will be happy to return on a pro rata basis or donate it to a charity.
