The Court of Appeal found that the Competition Appeal Tribunal had erred in finding that a sports retailer, which had applied for an interim injunction requiring a football club to supply it with replica kit to sell in its shops and online, had no serious case to be tried. However, the Tribunal was right to think that, though damages would not be an adequate remedy for either side, the balance of convenience favoured refusing interim relief.
This is an unofficial summary prepared by the Registry of the Competition Appeal Tribunal.
