OBITUARY: MIKE LAYE

We have been very fortunate throughout our 50 - plus years of existence, to have such committed support from members that have dedicated their time to making the AOP what it is today. Janet Ibbotson and Martin Evening share fond memories in a moving insight below into one of our most colourful and influential members; Mike Laye.  Mike was a key part of the AOP and a protagonist in implementing important changes in copyright law, which ultimately resulted in the 1988 Copyright, Designs and Patents Act.
