Bremworth reintroduces solution-dyed nylon while backing wool carpets
Carpet maker Bremworth is reinstating solution-dyed nylon (SDN) into its product mix but says wool carpets remain central to its brand.
Last week, Godfrey Hirst "welcomed" a High Court ruling rejecting Bremworth's request for discovery in the former's case against the latter for alleged misrepresentations about synthetic carpets.
In the pre-trial application, Bremworth sought wide-ranging discovery from Godfrey Hirst about its advertising and statements.
The High Court concluded that much of what Bremworth was seeking was "disproportionate".
However, it did instruct Godfrey Hirst to provide some of the material sought, as "simply a matter of the court having proper control over the process" of discovery.
Meanwhile, the case is set down for a hearing in the Hight Court in September next year. Godfrey Hirst says, should it win in court, it is not seeking damages but "normal costs associated with bringing this public interest case will be claimed".
