THE millionaire founder of Salford-based fast fashion brand In The Style has won his High Court battle against a rival who claimed he stole his idea.
Businessman Paul Clements had sued Adam Frisby after claiming the name and concept of the company had come from him.
Mr Frisby, who serves as the firm's interim CEO, founded In The Style in his bedroom in 2013.
The company has worked with celebrities including Dame Deborah James with her charity clothing line, as well as Love Island star Olivia Attwood, Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby and The Only Way Is Essex's Lauren Pope.
In December 2020, Mr Frisby was sued by Mr Clements, who claimed the company owner had taken his plan for the online fashion brand, including its name.
Mr Clements alleged at the High Court in Manchester that he had asked Mr Frisby to test and start his business plan, but that Mr Frisby said it had no future before developing the idea himself.
However, at the High Court in Manchester, Judge Mark Cawson KC rejected Mr Clements's claim and found he had only been considered as a potential investor in Mr Frisby's idea.
