His honour should be commended on actually writing up his judgement and not making everyone wait for 3 years to have the reasons enumerated. |

On the contrary. A Mark is an identifier... something that uniquely distinguishes the user of it from other things. The reason this court case happened was to clarify which one of these two parties would have the right to use the Lotus Mark in Formula One. The judgement maintained the [unacceptable to the parties] status quo by not resolving that matter. All it means is that the dispute will be carried forward to the appeals process. Neither TL nor GL are in 'better positions' following this case... and as has been said, I believe their chassis can be only be called a 'Team Lotus' and not a 'Lotus'.

Fernandes is unlikely to want to appeal the decision. Group Lotus, on the other hand.... Which one is currently happiest? |

The headlines and the public will see the conclusion as Team Lotus keeping their name, which makes Fernandes the winner, hence why GL are considering an appeal. TBH they shouldn't have picked a pointless fight with TF, which has the worrying potential to undo all the work they are doing to revitalise the brand
