"A lawyer has been fined for revealing that JK Rowling was the real author of The Cuckoo&amp;#039;s Calling. Chris Gossage - a partner at Russells Solicitors - told his wife&amp;#039;s best friend that writer Robert Galbraith was actually Rowling&amp;#039;s alter ego. It was later leaked to The Sunday Times in July.  He has been fined \u00C2\u00A31,000 for breaching copyright rules, and has also been served with a written rebuke from the Solicitor&amp;#039;s Regulation Authority (SRA). Rowling issued a lawsuit last summer against Gossage and his friend Judith Callegari, who revealed the information on Twitter with journalist India Knight. The Harry Potter author accepted an apology from the law firm, as well as damages as a charity donation. The SRA stated that &amp;quot;by disclosing confidential information about a client to a third party&amp;quot; Gossage had breached several codes of conduct. These breaches included failing to &amp;quot;act in the best interests of each client&amp;quot; and for not &amp;quot;behaving in a way that maintains the trust the public places in you and in the provision of legal services&amp;quot;. In a statement issued in July, Rowling said: &amp;quot;I feel very angry that my trust turned out to be misplaced. To say that I am disappointed is an understatement.&amp;quot; The Cuckoo&amp;#039;s Calling initially sold 1,500 copies but soon jumped up the sales charts after Rowling&amp;#039;s identity was revealed.
