A BRITISH clothing company has won its High Court action alleging Dunnes Stores breached European regulations by copying a woman’s shirt and top. Dunnes will have to account to the Karen Millen (KM) chain for profits made on sales of the copied garments, which were sold through its Savida range.

One of Britain’s most exclusive clothing chains won a landmark case today after it claimed Dunnes Stores copied its design.

A FASHION expert told a court yesterday she found 580,000 references on the internet to the type of woman’s top at the centre of a landmark legal dispute between British fashion stores and Dunnes Stores.
