Claim for breach of contract, infringement of copyright and infringement of database right. It relates to a yachting guide published by the second defendant which contains a chart of waters in the Harwich Haven area. The second defendant is a not-for-profit trust port with statutory responsibilities for the safety of navigation in the waters near Harwich.
