The witnesses
27.Kenneth Brown gave evidence for Nomination. He is their UK area manager. Antonio Gensini also gave evidence. Mr Gensini is one of the partners of the First Claimant along with his father, Paulo Gensini, and is also CEO of the Second Claimant. Mr Brown and Mr Gensini were both cross-examined. 28.The First Defendant, Mr Brealey, provided a witness statement and was crossexamined. JSC also filed a witness statement from Maureen Priestman who is the proprietor of The Jewellery Box, a jewellery and gift shop in Sunderland. Ms Priestman was not cross-examined, so her evidence stood unchallenged. 29.Mr Brown, Mr Gensini and Mr Brealey were all good witnesses, I believe doing their best to set out the facts as they honestly believed them to be. My only qualification is that I think Mr Brown and Mr Gensini tended to elide their current view of how Nomination’s products should be sold with Nomination’s position in the past. Other evidence indicated that the two were not identical.
