A Scottish judge has ruled that two nightclubs can go open on the same day as, in his learned opinion, one is "trendy" while the other is "a place where people go to pull".
Lava Ignite nightclub in Edinburgh tried to stop the HMV Picture House from holding club nights. Lava sold the venue to HMV, and it claimed the terms of the sale agreement prevented HMV from putting on competing events. HMV rejected the claim on the grounds that it was targeting a very different audience and the judge, who clearly knows his Timberland from his Kylie, agreed with him.
In his judgement, Judge Lord Glennie stated that he had ruled for the defendant as HMV Picture House was "studenty" and "trendy", whilst Lava Ignite was "a place to go to get trashed" and where "people go to pull".
