GoLefty!! Posted December 1, 2009 Share there was seizure of assets some months back so I suspect it was a commercial case. In a nut shell, Dragon sports took exception to CWC importing Mavic wheels directly and selling at discounted prices.So they laid a charge of trafficking in counterfiet goods and all Mavic wheels without a serial number on was seized as counterfeit ( ithin k you can see the shakiness of the case already....) CWC contested of course and a court date was set. thats where the information trail went cold. So now CWC is posting info on their victory, join the dots and there we go.Charges were most lilkey laid at Bellville police station and the case heard in Bellville Magistrates court. Not sure if a High court was warranted in this case. I could be wrong. Either way, this is good news for SA cyclists because it means there is still competition.... which raises another question...

The Saint Posted December 1, 2009 Share Holy what you are saying makes no sense either. How is a component manufacturer taking a distributor to court ensuring that the Brand is protecting its local suppliers? I must be missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Willemse Posted December 1, 2009 Share Thanks for all the support we got from all the clients around the country. Just to answer some questions. Holy Roller - We appeared a few times in the Bellville court. The final hearing and results was gevin on the 25 November - last week. Paulus; backup. We give a full backup on all the stock we import. I dont think that we have had 1 unhappy client which could not get replaced if they had a problem. Anyway let me move on. The phones are ringing and our clients are buying up all these lovely specails. Chris Willemse2009-12-01 07:41:56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
