  • Debenhams plans to cuts debts after legal battle with Mike Ashley

    Debenhams is pressing ahead with plans to cut its debts after a legal challenge backed by Mike Ashley’s Sports Direct drew to a close. The CVA plan was subject to a legal challenge amid pressure from Ashley, whose investment of £150m was wiped out when Debenhams went into administration.

    Sports Direct had backed the legal challenge to the Debenhams’ CVA by a private Salford-based landlord which owned six Debenhams properties. Sports Direct was blocked from taking legal action.

     

    Debenhams has closed 22 stores resulting in more than 700 job losses. Another 28 of its remaining 141 stores are expected to close next year.

  • Are you a cyclist that has been involved in a hit and run?

    If you have been injured, or your vehicle or property has been damaged, in a hit and run accident, you may be entitled to claim compensation. Even where the driver responsible cannot be traced, it is still possible to make a hit and run compensation claim from the government-backed Untraced Drivers’ Agreement.

    Usually personal injury claims following road traffic accidents are settled by the insurance company of the party you hold responsible. When an untraced driver is responsible, a claim can be submitted to the government-backed scheme. In appropriate circumstances they will pay you compensation if you have been injured or your property or vehicle has been damage. This scheme is funded by UK insurers using part of our car insurance premiums.

    We have helped a number of clients who have who have suffered an injury as a result of an accident which was not their fault and have successfully secured thousands of pounds for them.

  • “Jack’s Law” Paid bereavement leave for Parents who suffer the loss of a child under 18

    The UK is about to be the first country in the world to allow parents who suffer the loss of a child under the age of 18 years, to take paid bereavement leave.

    Following a campaign by Lucy Hurd “Jack’s law” will be introduced from April.

    Lucy’s son Jack died aged just 23 months when he drowned in a pond. Jack’s father was entitled to only three days off work to grieve, one of these being the day of the funeral. Lucy recognised that in the aftermath of the death of a child the parents not only have to cope with their own grief but also that of siblings and the wider family. A sudden death may involve a post-mortem or inquest. Parents will now be entitled to take two weeks paid leave from work. It is hoped this will help 10,000 families a year in the UK.

     

    If you need help and legal advice following a bereavement or a difficult employment issue please contact Wrigley Claydon Probate solicitor Rachel Damianou on telephone (0161) 624 6811 option 3/email rld@WrigleyClaydon.com  and our employment solicitor John Porter  can be contacted on telephone (0161) 624 6811 option 4/email jap@WrigleyClaydon.com

  • County council wins Supreme Court battle over quarry extension

    County council wins Supreme Court battle over quarry extension

    The Supreme Court has ruled in favour of North Yorkshire County Council following a dispute with Samuel Smith Old Brewery over a proposed quarry extension.

    The UK’s highest court ruled the authority was correct in granting planning permission to the extension of Jackdaw Crag limestone quarry in a sensitive green belt location near Tadcaster following four years of arguments.

    Tadcaster-based Samuel Smith Brewery Ltd said the development was in breach of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). They sought a judicial review of the decision to grant planning permission, arguing that the council had misapplied the NPPF.

     

    The Supreme Court, however, ruled in the authority’s favour, stating: “Whether the proposed mineral extraction would preserve the openness of the Green Belt or otherwise conflict with the purposes of including land within the Green Belt was specifically identified and addressed in the officer’s report.”

  • Super League side Hull warn of legal action over Israel Folau signing

    The owner and chairman of Super League side Hull Kingston Rovers has warned French club Catalans Dragons they could face legal action as a result of signing Israel Folau

    The BBC said it had obtained an email in which Neil Hudgell put the Dragons “on notice” should Hull suffer financial loss due to the signing of the former Australia rugby union international.

    Folau reached a settlement with Rugby Australia in December after his contract was canclled in May for posting a meme on social media that said hell awaits “drunks, homosexuals, adulterers” and other groups.

    “I reserve my position to take proceedings v Catalans Dragons,” the BBC quoted Hudgell as saying.

    In the email, he suggested action could be taken if a title sponsor withdrew, external investment was not secured or “quantifiable reputational damage is caused to the brand of Super League and its members”.

    The BBC quoted one senior club source as saying “nearly all” the Super League clubs backed Hull’s position.

  • Rangers and Sports Direct in Court Battle over Replica Kit

    Judge Lionel Persey has ruled in favour of Rangers Football Club in the latest round of a long-running legal battle between the club and Sports Direct owner Mike Ashley.

    Ashley and Rangers have been embroiled in High Court litigation, centred on a kit deal, for more than a year.

    A company in the Sports Direct Group, SDI Retail Services, had complained about Rangers being in breach of obligations under deals relating to replica kit.

    The judge said he had ruled in favour of Rangers, following the latest hearing earlier this month in which Rangers’ lawyers asked for the injunction to be relaxed. They said the injunction was hindering Rangers’ ability to deal with a sports clothing company, the Elite Group.

    Judge Lionel Persey has now ruled in the club’s favour  but SDI say they are considering an appeal.

    The same judge had ruled in July that Rangers had breached an agreement but said he had reached no conclusion on how much compensation the club should pay.

    Following the most recent ruling, lawyers representing Rangers said SDI should pick up Rangers’ legal bills for the latest round.

    SDI agreed in principle because Rangers had won but argued that Rangers had spent too much on lawyers. Their legal bill totalled around £100,000 and suggested that around half of that would be a reasonable figure.

    The judge split the difference and said SDI should pay £75,000 worth of the club’s legal bills.

  • Former Liverpool FC Captain, Steven Gerrard wins legal battle against sportswear firms

    Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has won a legal battle with two Italian sportswear firms, Lotto and Errea who tried to block his clothing range called SCG.

    The clothing range is a partnership between Gerrard and former club Liverpool who applied to register SGG Apparel as a trademark in the UK to protect the brand.

    Lotto Sport and Errea both objected to the move, saying the diamond logo used on the Gerrard outfits was too similar to their own and claimed customers could confuse the products.

    The UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO), which rules on trademark disputes said SGG Apparel should be allowed the trademark after ruling their logo, was distinctly different from those of the rival firms. Lotto Sport, who previously supplied kits to English side Queen’s Park Rangers, appealed the decision, but that has now been rejected by the IPO.

  • Diego Maradona wins £59k Dolce and Gabbana court settlement

    Fashion House Dolce & Gabbana has been ordered to pay Diego Maradona £59,000 in damages following a long-running court dispute after a model wore a Napoli shirt with his name and number on it during a fashion show.

    Lawyers for Maradona said the retired footballer had not been contacted ahead of the show, which took place in Naples in 2016, or ask if he consented to his name being used.

    Dolce & Gabbana, which had insisted it was paying tribute to the star who twice won the Italian League with Napoli, was also ordered to pay his legal fees. The total bill is expected to reach around £70,000.

  • Volkswagen seeks damages in legal dispute

    Volkswagen is seeking more than 100 million euros in damages from former supplier Prevent.

    The argument dates back to 2016, when suppliers ES Guss and Car Trim stopped supplies shortly after being acquired by Prevent in a bid to raise prices, causing production losses at six of Volkswagen’s factories in Germany.

    Volkswagen has filed a first claim for its Skoda unit with the Brunswick regional court, it said, adding that the Dresden higher regional court would determine which courts are responsible for further damage claims.

    Prevent said it didn’t have a copy of the suit and couldn’t comment.
