marshman Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I understand Mr Harris has lost his right to appeal the judgement given earlier over the use of the National Park name, and been refused leave to appeal further. Hopefully this is now the end of the matter. Hope he is paying and not the Nav Account. I am sure there are those who will wish to delve through the judgement and legal gobbledegook but I cannot yet find it on the Court of Appeal website - or I cannot look in the right place!

JennyMorgan Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 I can't be bothered to even try and substantiate my thoughts on this one but I thought that this was done and dusted some months ago and that Marsh's understanding is perfectly correct. Should this not be the case then I wish Mr Harris well in his endeavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshman Posted December 1, 2016 Author Share Posted December 1, 2016 You are right Pete, but I was referring to the written judgment which should now be available as to the legal reasons why he lost and why the BA did nothing legally wrong in what they did in calling the Broads a NP for marketing purposes.

JennyMorgan Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If my memory serves me well the judgement suggested that the term National Park had become a generic one. That being the case then I am surprised that the 'real' national parks didn't make moves to protect the term. Seemingly the term 'national park' has been devalued as the judgement appears to mean that any tin-pot organisation can now choose to use the NP term for marketing purposes, even when the description is patently not true. Personally I thought that the Harris's case was both poorly worded and thought out whilst the Authority's clearly illustrated the backdoor approach to getting its own way much used and favoured by the man at the top.
