Disclosure

Domestic & General Group Ltd and other companies v Premier Protect Holdings Ltd and others [2021] EWHC 135 (QB), [2021] All ER (D) 28 (Feb)

Ruling on an application by three companies in the Domestic & General Group, which was the leading product protection specialist in Europe, the Queen’s Bench Division granted an interim injunction to restrain the cold-calling by the first to the fourth respondents. The injunction was granted in the course of the appellant’s claim against the respondents, alleging the commission of economic torts, namely that non-Domestic & General companies had made unsolicited sales calls to the applicants’ customers (who had, typically, bought domestic appliances), and that false information had been provided to induce them into purchasing an additional protection plan. Further, and among other things, an order was made for the preservation of evidence against the first to the fifth respondents, to protect against action being taken by them to conceal their actions.
