Another victory for Stelios and the easy family of brands against brand theft!

27 June 2021

A further victory for brand protection was delivered in the High Court in London on the 22nd July after Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou’s easyGroup was granted an injunction preventing a French Caribbean travel agent, Stephane Roche from using the “easyway” brand to promote his tourist services to customers in the UK

The defendant, Stefan Roche will also have to pay legal costs to easyGroup of around £75k plus damages (based on a share of his profits and or his revenues for the last seven years) for using the easy brand without easyGroup’s permission. The quantum of the damages will be assessed later in the legal process. However, the court ordered that his website be subject to “geo-blocking” so it is not visible in the UK and he is also prohibited from offering his services to UK travel agents, customers with a .co.uk email address or any other customers that make it clear at any point during the transaction that they are located within the UK.

On the occasion of obtaining an easyJet shareholder vote for the 22nd of May , 2020 to remove the four directors, whom we regard as scoundrels, from the easyJet board Sir Stelios said:

“I wish to congratulate the scoundrels on getting a second job. Their official circular that defends their current positions and keeps the Airbus scandal in place, makes them sound just like an Airbus chief marketing officer. I hope the second job pays better than the first because they will be losing that one pretty soon.

“The scoundrels have not said that they can save easyJet from bankruptcy and keep paying Airbus. Cancelling the Airbus contract is the only chance we have to save easyJet.”
