INSTYLE v GOOD ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE (GECA), ENVIRONMENTAL ASSURANCE AND PETAR JOHNSON

Announcement posted by INSTYLE CONTRACT TEXTILES 14 May 2010

Good Environmental Choice (GECA), Environmental Assurance and Petar Johnson have given undertakings to the Federal Court not to publish statements about Instyle

We have received many requests for updates as to what is happening in our proceedings against GECA, Environmental Assurance, and Petar Johnson.

Unfortunately, the determination of these proceedings will take much longer than we anticipated.

Instyle applied to the Federal Court for an order to restrain each of GECA, Environmental Assurance and Petar Johnson from making unfounded claims in the market place about Instyle and its products similar to those made in the market advisories which were widely distributed in late September 2009.

As a result of this application, GECA, Environmental Assurance and Petar Johnson have each given undertakings to the Court that they will not publish similar statements about Instyle in the marketplace without first giving Instyle the opportunity to object and if necessary to take action to prevent them or any one of them from doing so.

If you become aware of GECA, Environmental Assurance or Petar Johnson making any statements about Instyle or its products, then we ask you to inform us immediately.

In the meantime, Instyle will continue to pursue its application to the Federal Court to a conclusion as quickly as possible.
