Judgement in 'Metro' dispute expected on Friday

A High Court judge will rule on Friday on a legal bid to prevent the Evening Herald from using the word "metro" in the title of a giveaway newspaper planned to rival a new freesheet due to be launched shortly.

The publishers of the new "Metro" freesheet are seeking an interim injunction to prevent the use of the word "metro" in the title of a rival freesheet planned by Independent News and Media in the event of the launch of "Metro".
