  • David vs Goliath: Global Tyre Brand in Trademark Infringement Dispute

    Japanese tyre and automotive parts manufacturer Bridgestone has threatened to take legal action against a one-man-band flooring company in Herefordshire over use of the ‘Bridgestone’ company name.

  • Recent Cases Highlight Increasing Antagonism in UK Litigation

    Whilst Covid-19 may have forced many parts of society to slow down and re-think our approach to all aspects of our lives, recent comments by a number of High Court judges would seem to indicate that this is certainly not happening in civil and commercial litigation. The 3 judges have expressed their disquiet over the ever increasing pervasiveness of hostile and antagonistic approaches to litigation where every point, good or bad, is taken. In the case of Navigator Equities Ltd & Ors v Deripaska from July this year, Mr Justice Andrew Baker said that, in the 30 years in which he had worked in commercial dispute resolution: There has been a significant general increase in hostility and aggressiveness in the conduct of disputes…the taking of any and every point, good or bad, and other failures to display proper independence from the litigating client...
