Lamont v Malishus Limited (NZ) and Ors (No.3)

The applicant, Lamont, sought interlocutory relief against the respondents, Malishus Limited and others. The dispute concerned alleged trade mark infringement. The application was heard by Judge Manousaridis.

The central legal issue before the court was whether there was a real risk that two of the four respondents would engage in conduct that would infringe the applicant's trade marks.

Judge Manousaridis determined that the applicant had not established a sufficient likelihood of future infringement by the relevant respondents to warrant the grant of interlocutory relief. The application was therefore not granted.
