Following the announcement that Scottish developer Visual Science has gone into administration, MD Tim Christian has told GamesIndustry.biz that there are now plans to launch legal action against Vivendi.

"We had a major contract with Vivendi Universal Games which was terminated a couple of weeks ago, and we have been unable to find replacement work in that period," Christian said.

"Given that, and given that it looked increasingly unlikely that we'd be able to meet our liabilities, we've had to put the company into administration."

"What the administration process means is that we can seek protection from our creditors, and then we can use the cash that we have remaining to develop a legal fight against VUG because we believe that they have terminated the contract without grounds."

Christian added that he was already in talks with lawyers regarding the proposed legal action.
