Craig Wright says he is unable to appear in court in December due to autism and Christmas arrangements to participate in COPA litigation

Craig Wright argued that due to his severe autism and his Christmas schedule, he was unable to attend the December court meeting after being charged with contempt of court in a legal application filed by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance (COPA).
The law firm representing COPA, Bird and Bird, claims that Wright violated his ban after deleting online notifications and filing a lawsuit against Jack Dorsey's Square Up and BTC Core.
In addition to this, COPA seeks a stay of Wright's lawsuit, suspending the relevant court proceedings until the contempt of court proceedings are resolved.
"Wright is trying to avoid the consequences of his actions," said Jonathan Hough, a lawyer for COPA. "He may want to avoid the police or avoid detention."
