  • George Michael ‘s ex-boyfriend Kenny Goss in legal dispute over singers estate

    George Michael ‘s ex-boyfriend Kenny Goss has reportedly commenced a legal claim pursuant to the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975  for a monthly allowance of £15,000 from the late star’s estate, as he wasn’t left anything in George Michael’s will.

    The Act enables certain categories of people to apply to the Court and make a claim against a deceased person’s estate, alleging that the deceased did not make reasonable financial provision for them.

    Goss says he was reliant on George’s money and should therefore be provided for. He says he gave up his career as an art dealer to look after George while they were in a relationship and was looked after by George financially.
    George left most of his £97.6 million fortune to his close friends and family when he died.

    The Gin Guild has issued a pre-legal action notice to the Pentone family who produce Red Storm and Ocean Storm for wrongly labelling the spirits as ‘gin’, despite only being 29% ABV.

     

    It now intends to secure enforcement against those seeking to abuse the name and standing of the gin category, and to ensure further provision of consumer advice and protection.

     

    The director general of The Gin Guild, said: “The producers of these products, fraudulently described as ‘gin’, have attempted a blatant, cynical and foolhardy attempt to market a product by linking to the reputation of the gin category, despite clearly being non-compliant products.”

  • Lionel Messi transfer: Barcelona star faces legal battle over contract

    It has been reported that Lionel Messi has told Barcelona that he wants to leave the club immediately – and on a free transfer.

    Messi believes that a clause in his contract means he can walk away for no fee. Barcelona, however, insist that he is still bound by a €700m (£629m) buy-out clause.

    Barcelona believe the deadline for that clause to be applied expired at the end of May. However, given the exceptional nature of this season, which extended into the summer due to Covid-19 and did not formally end until the Champions League final last Sunday, Messi is set to argue that the deadline should be set on 31 August.

  • Jaguar Land Rover loses court battle over Defender trademark

    On Monday 3 August 2020 a High Court judge dismissed an appeal by Jaguar Land Rover’s parent company Tata Motors to get trademark rights for the Land Rover Defender.

    The decision means Ineos Automotive is now free to press ahead with its Grenadier off-roader. The Grenadier, which is being bankrolled by chemical billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is

    a boxy SUV which bears a strong resemblance to the Defender.

    However, The UK Intellectual Property Office had previously found the shapes of the Defender were not distinctive enough.

  • Johnny Depp files for defamation lawsuit against The Sun Newspaper

    Johnny Depp’s defamation litigation against News Group Newspapers over a 2018 article in the Sun newspaper which referred to Depp as a “wife beater” is currently being heard in the High Court.

    The article related to allegations made against Depp by actress Amber Heard that he was violent towards her during their marriage, which he denies.

    In an earlier hearing the newspaper group’s legal team had previously argued that Depp was in breach of a court order because he had not given the team a series of text messages between himself and his assistant. It said the messages, sent in February and March 2015, demonstrated that Depp was trying to get hold of drugs while staying in Australia with Heard, during which time an incident of domestic abuse is alleged to have occurred. However, the Court ruled that despite the breach Depp would be allowed to continue to his case.

  • Rebekah Vardy suing Coleen Rooney for defamation

    Court records show that proceedings for defamation have been registered at the High Court in London by Rebekah Vardy against Coleen Rooney.

    The women had a very public falling-out last year over what was nicknamed the ‘Wagatha Christie’ affair.

    Coleen Rooney claimed she’d discovered that stories leaked to a tabloid newspaper could only have been seen by Rebekah Vardy’s social media account.

    Rebekah Vardy has always denied the claims – saying other people had access to her social media accounts.

  • Mercedes-Benz could face legal battle over diesel emissions

    A group legal claim is to be brought on behalf of owners of some Mercedes vehicles, over claims customers were misled about the emissions their vehicles produced.

    It is alleged that the issue affected 500,000 diesel vehicles- the BlueTec and AdBlue range sold between 2007 and 2018.

    The latest action comes a year after Daimler AG was fined more than £700m by German prosecutors in 2019 over the diesel emissions scandal.

    Daimler AG, the parent company of Mercedes-Benz, has dismissed the claims and says it will “vigorously defend” any group actions in court.

  • The Night Time Industries Association announced it is taking legal action against Hiscox

    The Night Time Industries Association, which represents bars and clubs across the UK, has commenced legal action against Hiscox, alleging the insurer has refused to pay out for claims during the coronavirus pandemic.

    The NTIA is arranging class action against the insurer, which it said has denied liability under its business interruption policy. All night time venues including pubs and restaurants have been forced to close under the UK’s coronavirus lockdown.

    Hiscox said it anticipated paying out up to £142m in coronavirus insurance claims arising from restrictions on travel and mass gatherings but said its business interruption exposure is “limited” in Europe.

  • Coronavirus: Watchdog threatens legal action on holiday and wedding refunds

    Coronavirus: Watchdog threatens legal action on holiday and wedding refunds

    Firms that fail to refund people for holiday and weddings cancelled because of the coronavirus outbreak could face legal action by the consumer watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)

    The CMA said the holiday vouchers being offered can only be used during a more expensive period, while wedding venues are telling people to claim on their insurance. It also said some nurseries were asking people to pay very high sums in order to keep a place open for their child.

    Consumer law requires that a full refund is offered if a business has cancelled a contract without providing any of the promised goods or services.

    This includes if no service is provided because of restrictions during the current lockdown or if a consumer cancels because of the restrictions.
