Essex Trading Standards v Singh; [2009] WLR (D) 81
“In order to acquit a defendant of a charge of unauthorised use of registered trade marks in relation to goods, contrary to s 92(1)(c) of the Trade Marks Act 1994, under the statutory defence provided by s 92(5) of the Act, it was not enough for the court to conclude on the facts that the defendant had acted in the honest belief that the use of the signs was not an infringement of the registered trade marks; it was also necessary to find that he had reasonable grounds for so believing.”

“A severely disabled claimant was entitled as of right to damages from the tortfeasor in preference to dependence on the statutory obligations of the local authority to provide accommodation and care for her. For the purposes of disregarding damages for personal injuries from charging provisions in respect of accommodation and care provided by local authorities, all the heads of damage were to be disregarded, not only those for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.”
