Case No. IP-2021-000111

46.I heard from five witnesses of fact at trial, each of whom filed a witness statement and was cross-examined. 47.For the Claimant, I heard from Ms Evans herself and Ms Williams, the illustrator of FFD.48.The Defendants make no criticism of Ms Williams, and I accept her as an honest and truthful witness who came to Court to assist it to the best of her ability. 49.50.51.For the Defendants I heard from: i)Ms Holly Kicul, the Senior Advertising Manager at JLP;ii)Mr Richard Brim, the Chief Creative Officer at adam&eveDDB;iii)Mr Paul Billingsley, who was the Managing Director of adam&eveDDB at all material times until he left the company in October 2022.52.The Defendants submit that their witnesses were good witnesses doing their best to assist the Court which should have no hesitation in accepting their evidence. Ms Watkinson for the Claimant agrees, describing them as honest, truthful and straightforward, although has submissions to make about evidence that they were not able to provide and questions they were not able to answer. I agree with those assessments.
