Football Association Premier League Ltd and others v LCD Publishing Ltd: ChD 8 Nov 2007

The claimants sought to restrain the defendant publishing magazines related to individual footballers and managers, and particularly now to strike out a defence that the claimant was acting anti-competitively, in disallowing use of photographs not taken by approved photographers in football stadia.
Held: Though there may be an arguable case, the defendants had not otherwise properly detailed their defence, and an order could not presently be made.
