War of the wellies

Last week's Sunday Times reports on the recent battle of the boots between Hunter Boot Ltd and D Jacobson & Sons, who have released similar snake print wellies. Hunter objected to Jacobson's new wellington which they saw as bearing more than a passing resemblance to their own new Carnaby Boa boot, hailed as the 'sexiest Hunter boot to date'. A legal tussle ensued between the two companies who have since struck a confidential deal between themselves over the issue.
