The appellants (collectively “Topshop”) own and operate the well known Topshop retail fashion stores. In 2012 Topshop began to sell in its stores and through its website a fashion t-shirt displaying a clearly recognisable image of Rihanna. The image was derived from a photograph of Rihanna which was taken when she was on a video shoot for a single from her “Talk That Talk” album. Rihanna is looking directly at the camera with her hair tied above her head with a headscarf. It is, as the judge thought, a striking image and similar images had been used by Rihanna in connection with the Talk That Talk album.

  • Debenhams: the Rise and Fall of a British Retail Institution Rupert Neate
    Debenhams: the rise and fall of a British retail institution Rupert Neate The Gaurdian.com 1 December 2020 Founded in 1778, Debenhams was one of the largest and most historic department store chains in the world. The business was formed by William Clark as a single high end drapers store at 44 Wigmore Street in London’s West End. It rose to become one of the biggest retailers in the UK with, at one point, more than 200 large stores across 18 countries and exclusive partnerships with some of the world’s best-known designers including Jasper Conran and Julien Macdonald. But on Tuesday, the shutters finally came down as administrators announced the chain would be wound down and all of its remaining 124 stores shut, putting potentially all of its 12,000 employees out of work. The demise of Debenhams comes just a day after Sir Philip Green’s Arcadia Group retail empire collapsed into administration, putting a further 13,000 jobs at risk. In the 1980s and 1990s both retailers had been part of the vast Burton Group, founded by Sir Montague Maurice Burton. Clark’s business remained just the single shop on Wigmore Street until 1813 when he teamed up with Suffolk businessman William Debenham, and expanded into two stores on opposite sides of the street. One was known as Debenham & Clark and the other known as Clark & Debenham. The first store outside London – and an exact replica of the original Wigmore Street shop – was opened in Cheltenham in 1818. “In the ensuing years the firm prospered from the Victorian fashion for family mourning by which widows and other female relatives adhered to a strict code of clothing and etiquette,” the company says on its website.

  • Employment Tribunals at a Final Hearing Reserved
    Case number: 2602342/2018 Reserved EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS BETWEEN: Claimant Respondent And Mr P Kibble Arcadia Group Limited AT A FINAL HEARING Held at: Nottingham On: 16 & 17 December 2019 and in chambers on 13 January 2020 Before: Employment Judge R Clark REPRESENTATION For the Claimant: Mr B Henry of Counsel For the Respondent: Mr S Wyeth of Counsel RESERVED JUDGMENT The judgment of the tribunal is that: - 1. The claim of breach of contract fails and is dismissed. REASONS 1. Introduction 1.1 This is a claim for damages alleging breach of contract. With effect from 9 June 2018, the claimant’s long period of employment with the respondent came to an end by reason of redundancy. He received the statutory redundancy entitlement and notice to which he was entitled under the Employment Rights Act 1996. 1 Case number: 2602342/2018 Reserved 1.2 The claimant’s claim is that those payments did not reflect the enhanced contractual entitlement he enjoyed as a result of two collective agreements made between his employer and his union, the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (“USDAW”). The first agreement dates back to 1976 (“the 1976 agreement”). This was subject to a more recent variation in the second agreement signed off in 1996 (“the 1996 agreement”). 1.3 There is no dispute that those agreements applied to the claimant when his employment commenced in 1981 as they still did when the 1996 agreement was reached. There is no dispute that they provide for enhanced severance terms in case of redundancy and, to that extent, quantum is agreed.
