  • 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.

  • Airlines liable for passengers scalded by spilt coffee, EU court rules

    The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has ruled that passengers scalded by hot drinks during a flight can hold the airline liable for damages following a case brought by a young girl seeking compensation from now insolvent Austrian airline Niki Luftfahrt when coffee served to her father tipped over during a flight.

    The airline contended that it was not liable since the incident was not covered by the Montreal Convention, which governs compensation for the victims of air disasters, for delays and damage or loss of luggage.

    The airline said it should only be liable for accidents involving hazards associated with flight. It was not clear if the cup tipped due to a defect in the tray or because of the vibration of the aircraft.

    The convention does not define the word “accident”.

    The court said the Montreal Convention’s aim of balancing the interests of airlines and passengers meant damages should not be restricted to flight-related hazards.

    It is now for the Austrian court, where the girl’s case was filed, to use the CJEU ruling to settle the dispute between the airline and the passenger.

  • Dealing with abuse

    In recent years historical abuse cases perpetrated by well-known people have hit the headlines, including Jimmy Saville, Harvey Weinstein and Prince Andrew’s friend, Jeffrey Epstein. However, historic sexual abuse cases often involve abuse over a number of years within a family, at a school, in residential care homes or the church.

    We have helped a number of clients who have been victims of historic sexual abuse and have successfully secured thousands of pounds for them. The compensation obtained was recognition that the abuser committed a criminal act and helped clients to achieve some type of closure.

  • Councils Appeal High Court Ruling On Traveller Ban

    The Court of Appeal has heard a landmark case which could have wide-ranging implications on whether local authorities can use injunctions to place a blanket ban on Travellers camping on public land. 

    London Gypsies and Travellers (LGT) argues that such court orders are discriminatory, disproportionate, and effectively criminalise a centuries-old way of life. Anyone found breaching the injunctions could be fined, imprisoned or have their property seized.

    Bromley Council had applied for a five-year injunction preventing “persons unknown” from camping on open spaces and car parks, but was refused by the High Court in May 2019. It found that the council had not taken account of the rights, needs and welfare of Gypsies and Travellers – especially the best interests of children – nor had it considered alternative, less discriminatory solutions to the shortage of authorised sites.

    On 3 December, Bromley Council appealed the decision with the backing of seven other councils in London and Essex. The outcome of this appeal could have major implications as 37 local councils in England have taken out similar injunctions in the past two years alone.

    Injunction applications, by their very nature, have to be dealt with very swiftly and require specialist knowledge of injunction law and court procedures.

    Our commercial litigation solicitors are experienced in both making and defending applications for injunctions and in recognising when an application for an injunction is needed.

  • South Lakeland Council is owed £576,000

    South Lakeland District Council (SDLC), who invoice for certain services and charges is owed £576,000 in debts dating back to 2014.

    SLDC officers said the debt represented a small fraction of the £46 million it had issued invoices or credit notes for from 2014 to 2019-20.

    Helen Smith, financial services manager for SLDC, said “It’s fair to say we are very reluctant to write off the debt and do our utmost to gather whatever we feel is collectable.”

    Unpaid debts can have various unpleasant consequences ranging from cash flow difficulties; refusal of prompt payment discounts, and banks not recognising long term debts as collateral.

  • Cruciate Ligament

    ACL stands for Anterior Cruciate Ligament. That’s the tough band of tissue that sits at the front of the knee joint, connecting the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). It provides control and stability to the knee. Sometimes, during an accident, it can tear and the joint will then give way. Normally you will feel a sudden pain and the knee will usually begin to swell generally in a few hours.

    You might not be able to bear weight on the affected leg, and could feel unstable either when playing sport or, if the injury is more serious, during normal day-to-day activities.

    Specific exercises may strengthen the knee however, one might also need surgery. A number of methods can be used to reconstruct an anterior cruciate ligament. The most common method is to use a tendon from elsewhere in your body to replace the ACL, such as part of your hamstring tendons or your quadriceps tendon.

    At Wrigley Claydon, we have over 40 years’ experience of helping our clients receive the compensation they deserve following accidents where they have suffered personal injury and financial loss. We have dealt with a number of injury cases where we have obtained compensation for those clients who have suffered cruciate ligament damage.

  • Liverpool FC fail in move to trademark the word ‘Liverpool’

    Liverpool FC’s attempt to trademark the word “Liverpool” has been rejected by the government’s Intellectual Property Office (IPO) due to the “geographical significance” of the city.

    The trademark attempt sparked outrage within the club’s own fanbase, as well as the Liverpool mayor.

    Liverpool FC said: they would “continue to aggressively pursue those large-scale operations which seek to illegally exploit our intellectual property and would urge the relevant authorities to take decisive action against such criminal activity wherever it exists.”

    Supporters group Spirit of Shankly described the IPO’s rejection as a “victory for common sense” and “Without fan involvement there would be no challenge to the corporate greed within football”.
