Drinks maker Britvic sued for alleged copyright infringement

• Drinks giant Britvic is being sued by Amanda and David Robinson, owners of the Magic Mushroom Cabin, over alleged copyright infringement.
• The Robinsons claim Britvic used an image of their glamping cabin without permission to promote a competition for a “unique summer hangout”.
• Britvic admits using the photograph but denies the Robinsons' ownership of the copyright and disputes that their authorisation was required.
• The Robinsons are seeking approximately £6,500 in lost profits and additional damages for the unauthorised use of the image.
• Britvic's defence argues there is no causal link between its actions and any alleged lost profits, and denies the infringement was “flagrant”.
