Well, they might try an appeal, but based on the testimony and evidence given at the trial, I have strong doubts that it would be any more successful. The judge basically said that they were liars, and that they had tried to deceive the court with the evidence that they produced, trying to insinuate that it was produced in 2015, when, in fact, it had been concocted in 2018 after they were required to submit related documents.

One thing that crossed my mind is why, when Whyte's Bikes were represented in court by a QC (a leading (senior) barrister) and a junior barrister to assist, that Storey were only represented by a barrister that had not been appointed as a QC.

Noticeable also that the language used in the High Court for civil matters hasn't changed much since the 80s. Judges and barristers still like to sugar coat everything they say as if they were afraid of hurting anyone's feelings. The judge, in her way, was rather scathing about Storey's solicitors for being, at a minimum, discourteous, whilst Whyte's solicitor and barrister stopped short of saying that Storey had copied the Whyte logo.
