Government-approved body alleges tyre collection firm is "misleading" customers

Summary

A Government-approved body, Repak ELT (End of Life Tyres), has initiated High Court proceedings against Daniel McHugh, trading as Delvin Tyres in Co Westmeath, alleging that the defendant is misleading customers and others in the tyre business. Repak ELT claims that Delvin Tyres has falsely represented itself as an authorised tyre collector registered with Repak ELT and has used Repak ELT's logo in its advertising. Repak ELT alleges that Delvin Tyres is not entitled to use the logo or claim compliance with Repak ELT regulations. Repak ELT seeks injunctions to prevent Delvin Tyres from using its logo, passing off its business as endorsed by Repak ELT, and from engaging in misleading marketing. It also seeks the cancellation of the domain name wwwrepakelt.com, which Delvin Tyres is alleged to have registered. At the High Court on Tuesday, Mr Justice Tony O'Connor granted Repak ELT permission to serve notice of the injunction proceedings on Delvin Tyres on an ex-parte basis. The matter was adjourned to a date next week.
