*Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation and other companies v Harris and others

Copyright – Infringement. The claimant companies owned the copyright to many films and television programmes. They brought proceedings against the first defendant, H, and companies alleged to have been controlled by him, contending that he had been responsible for large-scale copyright fraud. The Chancery Division held that the claimants had established unlawful means conspiracy against H and the other defendants, on the basis of conspiracy to infringe the claimants' copyrights and conspiracy to defraud the claimants.
