Let me just start by suggesting that it was not I, who brought up the subject of David Cordover in relation to ChessVictoria. That loose association was suggested by Denis Jessop, who appears to know very little about the Victorian chess scene.
Cordovers company contributes nothing to Victorian chess. It runs no adult tournaments and pays no rating fees to ChessVictoria or the ACF. It does not control Victorian chess because it has nothing to do with it. The public record shows that Cordovers company employs IM Robert Jamieson and that it has also payed Kevin Bonham for services rendered.
Meanwhile, if yu want to become better informed Denis, before passing comment on the organisation ChessVictoria, why don't you try ringing IM Leonid Sandler, Katrin Wills, or even Kerry Lyall. Here are the contact details
CV office bearers
Get on the phone and give them a call Denis. Clarify for yourself, what it is that worries you about their current predicament. Who knows they may appreciate your free legal advice.
cheers,
