Company Names: Not Quite the Real Thing
The new Company Names Tribunal, which I mentioned in my announcement of our chambers new fixed fee service on 10 November, has just published its first three decisions. They are: The Coca-Cola Company v Coke Cola Limited Zurich Insurance Company v Zurich Financial Special Risk Limited , and Zurich Insurance Company v Zurich Financial Special Risk Limited . None of the respondents defended the applications and the adjudicators found for the applicants in all three cases. Costs of £700 were awarded (£400 for the issue fee and £300 for the statement of case). Our fee for settling a statement of case is £300 + VAT. Merry Christmas!
