WOLVERHAMPTON, England, April 13, 2010 - The Judgment, concluding an unusual court case, has been passed by
London's Court of Appeal. Leave to Appeal was given due to the seriousness of
accusations against the original trial Judge. The Wolverhampton and Leicester
based dairy company Johal Dairies, run by brothers Surbjit (Jitty) and Gurnek
Johal
, now face a significant sum of legal costs and damages after losing to
its trade rival, J.N.Dairies, also based in Wolverhampton.

The Court of Appeal reviewing the case of J.N.Dairies v Johal Dairies
(originally heard during an 8-day High Court trial in March 2009), has
unanimously found in favour of J.N.Dairies. They rejected Johal's Appeal and
request for a re-trial. The Appeal was heard in London on 16th and 17th March
2010
in front of Lord Justices Mummery, Stanley Burnton and Sullivan. They
approved the Judge's reasoning as "long and careful" without "any lack of
objectivity on his part." They found that he addressed points "entirely
adequately" and gave "substantial reasons." Johals' complaints were said to
be without "substance" and "no complaint can justifiably be made" against the
Judge. See full Judgement handed down at London's Royal Courts of Justice
(Court of Appeal) at 10:45am on 31st March 2010.

The original Judgment of June 2009 stands. This ruled that Johal Dairies
had acted unlawfully by paying an illegal immigrant GBP40,000 to steal
confidential invoices from J.N.Dairies which Johal then used in price
negotiations to approach J.N.Dairies' customers. The theft of the invoices
was found to be part of a "prearranged plan" with Johal Dairies director
Surbjit (Jitty) Johal.

In speaking about the Court of Appeal decision, the Directors of
J.N.Dairies said, "We are delighted to have won in the Court of Appeal and
that justice has prevailed again. Johal Dairies did not compete fairly and
resorted to unlawful activity in an attempt to sabotage our hard-earned
business. We would like to thank our suppliers, customers, staff, friends,
the dairy industry and local community for their support over the last 18
months and we look forward to the next decade in business; providing value,
quality and service."
