This came today from LexisNexis' Butterworths All England Direct subscription-only service: European Healthcare (East) Ltd v Gosai as well as another, a Chancery Division determination of Judge Rich QC, sitting equally a deputy judge. It hasn't nonetheless reached BAILII, which is the fate of almost small-time cases that accept an interim flavor to them.

Gosai worked for a companionship (the minute accused company), besides providing certainly facilities for it. That company's possessor afterward sold the sole percentage inwards it to European Healthcare, which changed the comnpany's advert to its own. Gosai alleged that, earlier the transfer, he made an organization amongst the possessor of the minute defendant, past times which the sole percentage as well as 20% of that company's profits would move transferred to him inwards furnish for the move he had done for the company. Gosai afterward claimed he had a claim against the company.

European Healthcare sued Gosai as well as the company, seeking an interim injunction to halt them from trading inwards the advert of the minute accused as well as to guild each of them to modify that company's name. European Healthcare besides sought delivery upwards of certainly documents which, it said, belonged to the minute accused as well as had been inwards Gosai's possession piece he was working for that company. Gosai said he had a lien over the requested documents nether to his organization amongst the company's onetime owner.

Judge Rich QC ordered delivery up.

* Gosai said he did non object to the making of such an interim injunction against him pending trial. Accordingly, the courtroom would grant the injunction, amongst freedom to Gosai to utilize to vary or discharge the order.

* Under the circumstances, it was unnecessary to need Gosai's onetime companionship to modify its name. It was self-evident that the documents requested past times European Healthcare belonged to it as well as were reasonably necessary for the efficacious carrying on of its business. Even if Gosai had a quantifiable claim against the company's previous owner, such a claim solely gave him a correct against that individual but did non extend to a correct against European Healthcare. In whatsoever event, since nether the alleged understanding Gosai's rights did non arise until after May 2005, in that place was no introduce claim against which such a lien could exist.

* Delivery upwards would move ordered inside fourteen days amongst freedom to the defendants to utilize to vary or discharge the order.

loves these picayune intrigues, but wonders what the advert of the mysterious companionship is as well as what it would accept to move changed to. It's simply as well as thence stuffy when police reporting convention demands the purpose of ho-hum descriptors similar "claimant" as well as "defendant", when the parties' names are commonly easier to remember.
