A Review of the Tort of Passing Off, Trinity Business & Property Barrister, Abigail Cheetham

Taking part in Trinity Chambers' Newcastle 2023 Business & Property Conference, Abigail Cheetham delivered a session entitled:
'Another Man's Goods' - A Review of the Tort of Passing Off
Passing off actions typically involve applications for injunctions on an interim or permanent basis. A claimant may also pursue a range of additional or alternative remedies, which are not often seen in other cases of tort. The tort of Passing Off is a cause of action that has developed exclusively from common law. Therefore, to fully understand this tort, Abigail's talk explores its extensive case law and covers the following:
• Factors to Succeed in Passing Off
• Goodwill
• Misrepresentation
• Damage
• Extended Passing Off
• Remedies
