Legal submissions will be heard next week in the High Court case by a UK clothing company alleging that Dunnes Stores breached European regulations by copying a woman's shirt and top after they were launched by the UK company.
Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan will hear submissions on Tuesday from counsel for Karen Millen and Dunnes Stores in the first of three cases being taken by Karen Millen's UK parent company, Mosaic Fashions, against Dunnes.
The judge was told yesterday that agreement had been reached between the two sides and that she should give judgment in the Karen Millen case before embarking on similar actions being taken by Coast Ltd and Whistles Ltd, also owned by Mosaic.
