In 1992 Shell appointed a new National Promotions manager to whom Don's promotional ideas were disclosed on a confidential basis. In 1994, Don Marketing issued a writ against Shell with respect to a follow-up "Make Money" promotion claiming breach of confidence and breach of contract, which ended in a £60,000 settlement. A second writ was issued concerning a Nintendo promotion that ran in 1993. Shell settled both claims in October 1996. A third lawsuit was processed in 1999; however, the claimant abandoned the claim.
