By a judgment dated 30 April 2021 ([2021] EWHC 1097 (Ch)) the court dismissed the claimant’s (‘PWS’s’) claim and the defendants’ (‘Lidl’s’) counterclaim for passing off. Three issues arose at the consequential hearing on 1 June 2020: (i) costs; (ii) whether a publicity order should be made in accordance with Samsung v. Apple and (iii) permission to appeal. This decision is long because of the multiple points raised on costs and issues of approach to a publicity order. It gives fuller background, which is part of the context for both issues.
