Dunnes misled public with Aldi prices ad

Dunnes Stores engaged in a misleading commercial practice likely to deceive customers in an advertising campaign comparing certain products with rival Aldi, the High Court has ruled.

Dunnes had infringed consumer protection law and EU regulations in the campaign, Mr Justice Brian Cregan ruled.

He was giving judgment in an application by Aldi for an injunction preventing Dunnes from infringing its trademarks.
