The article below sets out current information and is based on general rights during administration. The list is not exhaustive and if anyone has further queries these questions should be answered by visiting the Administrators using the PwC website at www.pwc.co.uk/jessops or telephone Jessops Group Limited helpline which can be reached on 0113 289 4422.

Jessops Set To Go ‘Into Administration’

January 9, 2013 / IWDIG

Update: PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which was appointed to the group on Wednesday, has begun the process of shutting 187 stores including the Isle of Wight with the loss of 1,370 jobs.

The administrators said further job losses are likely at the group’s head office in Leicester.

PwC had held “extensive discussions” with suppliers, but it was apparent that Jessops could not continue to trade. Stock would be collected from the shops and taken to a warehouse, where it would be returned to suppliers.

As a result of the closure of the shops, customers would not be able to return products. Continue reading

Photo copyright boost set to open online ‘floodgates’

People who pluck photos from the internet without permission could face a barrage of lawsuits over coming months.

Following a Government announcement of a ‘simpler and easier’ system, Intellectual Property disputes can now be resolved using the ‘small claims track’ in the Patents County Court (PCC).

Photographers can pursue damages for breach of copyright, for up to £5,000, without even appointing a solicitor, unlike before where they may have been put off by a potentially long, and expensive, legal fight. Continue reading
