Case brought by State-approved recycling body against tyre firm is resolved

Summary

In a High Court case, the State‑approved tyre recycling scheme body Repak ELT sued Delvin Tyres, trading as Mr Daniel McHugh, for misleading customers by presenting itself as an authorised collector registered with Repak ELT. The firm had used Repak ELT's logo and claimed compliance with its regulations, actions Repak ELT said were unlawful. Repak ELT sought injunctions to stop the use of its logo, to prevent the firm from passing itself off as endorsed by Repak ELT, to stop misleading marketing, to cancel the domain name www.repakelt.com, and to obtain damages. The court granted short notice of the action. The matter returned to the High Court, where the parties reached a settlement. Mr McHugh agreed not to pass off his business as endorsed by Repak ELT, not to claim compliance with waste‑management regulations, not to use Repak ELT's logo or trade‑mark, to cancel the domain name, and not to register a similar domain.
