20 years of bitter rivalry has culminated in a High Court judgement laid down in London earlier today by His Honour Judge David Cooke in favour of J.N.Dairies, one of the leaders in chilled dairy distribution in the UK,in a lawsuit against local competitor Johal Dairies and illegal immigrant Mr Gurbir Singh.
The extraordinary High Court trial lasting eight days at Birmingham’s Civil Justice Centre between 10 and 19 March 2009, saw Wolverhampton and Leicester based Johal Dairies, found to have acted unlawfully by paying an illegal immigrant, Mr Gurbir Singh, £40,000 to steal information from rival supplier J.N.Dairies that contained the volumes, addresses and prices which it was supplying its customers, which it then used in price negotiations to unlawfully win J.N.Dairies’ customers.
