Man fined €1,200 for selling fake goods
It was explained at Cork District Court that this issue had arisen before and that because the goods were illegal — in that they breached legislation on trademarks — the goods could not be put into circulation and they had to be destroyed.
Timothy McCarthy, 61, of 51 Cornmarket Street, pleaded guilty to three counts of breaching legislation of trademarked goods by stocking fake or spurious versions of the goods exactly one year to the day of his case yesterday.
