Dear Sir,

Re: Integral Energy

I respond to your letter, forwarded to me, dated 29 March 2000 received on 30 March 2001.

I understand you act for Integral Energy Australia.

I deny in total and without exception the allegations made by your client as described in your letter.

I am unable to agree to the undertaking supplied on the following grounds:

1. The word "Integral" is a mathematical symbol and to sign away the right to use it would prevent me from doing my daily job. I would be required to seek considerable compensation from your client to cease using said word.
2. It would put me at a disadvantage when making payments to your client should I agree not to use the words "Integral Energy" as I need to endorse a cheque in some manner. I am prepared to use |E=MC^2 as an alternative but this would not constitute a legal endorsement.
3. I have no intentions (at this time) to represent any goods or services that might be confused by the consumer to be that of your clients, in similarity or likeness. I could not agree to this anyway as I may chose to operate as an Energy Supplier once Deregulation occurs.

I note the word "Integral" is used over 1.9 million times on the Internet. Is your client also seeking the same remedy from the users of the word(s) in these cases?

I note that Google reports about 489,000 matches to the words "Integral Energy" that are not related to Integral Energy Australia. Does your client intend seeking similar remedy from those web sites?

I note that ASIC records a large number of companies with the word "Integral" and "Energy:" either singularly or jointly. Does your client intend to seek remedy from these as well?

If not, can you please explain your client’s vexatious motivation for your instructions in particular explaining why they have chosen to victimise me personally.

Could you also explain why the claim for damages made upon your client on 1 February 2001 has not yet been resolved? Why has your client has taken a considerably negligent attitude towards resolving said claim? Why did your client show haste and promptness in responding with instructions to you about the content of the web site?

Could you also explain why your client has not attempted to settle the claim in light of the report issued by EWON indicating that your client is without question negligent?

Could you also explain to me how your client came to know about the web site at the address you specify in your letter? The address was not publicly released.

I look forward to your client’s responses to these questions and no doubt I will have many more. Be aware that until these particulars are answered in full, any proceeding your client may try to instigate will be defended with pleasure.
