It is particularly known for its brass wind instruments. BBI will operate from premises in Luton adjoining those of RCN and will receive certain marketing and financial support services from RCN and GHH.(5) B&H is one of the world's largest manufacturers of musical instruments. In 1985 its total turnover was £ 480 000 (ECU 840 000), of which 70 % was in B&H brass band instruments.RCN is a repairer of brass band instruments for manufacturers, dealers and private customers which has in the past carried out contract repair work for B&H.(4) In April 1986 the principals of GHH and RCN founded a company, BBI, for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing a broad range of instruments for brass bands. It had total world-wide sales (all products) in 1985 of £ 38 million (ECU 67 million).(3) GHH is a major retailer of brass band instruments and, prior to the present case, had the second largest sales of B&H instruments in the United Kingdom. Prior to the present case it was the only British manufacturer of brass wind instruments.
Marching, Fanfare, Harmonie or wind bands) by their all-brass instrumentation, (as laid down in championship rules), their musical repertoire and their distinctive sound. Brass bands are distinguished from other types of bands using wind instruments (e.g. These bands originated in the North of England, where interest is particularly strong, but the 'brass band movement' has spread to many other countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark and Germany.
The so-called 'background brass' instruments, i.e. Typically a competing band will consist of 85 % to 90 % B&H instruments. All the leading contesting brass bands in England are composed almost entirely of B&H instruments, and amongst enthusiasts as a whole the first preference is always for B&H. Its 'Sovereign' range is aimed particularly at contesting brass bands and its '700' range provides a slightly cheaper alternative while still being intended for competing bands. B&H manufactures several broad ranges of brass instruments to suit the particular requirements of different customer categories (contesting brass bands, educational, etc.). The Championship rules which govern the instrumentation of the competing bands influence the composition of British-style brass bands generally.(6) Brass band instrumentation comprises soprano cornets (Eb ), cornets (Bb ), flugel horns, tenor horns, baritones, trombones, euphoniums, and tubas (BBb and EEb ).
Despite this price difference, Yamaha has so far made only a limited impression on the market.(7) BBI was set up by the principals of RCN (who were former employees of B&H) and of GHH specifically to compete with the B&H 'Sovereign' range of brass band instruments. B&H instruments usually command a substantial price premium over the equivalent Yamaha instruments. Only one other manufacturer in the world - Yamaha - currently makes a broad range of instruments intended for brass bands. According to the applicants, demand in the Community for brass band instruments is currently worth an estimated 10 million ECU, a figure contested by B&H as being too high. There is some room for substitution in the case of 'foreground brass' (only 15 % of the instruments in the typical band) where the trombones and, to a lesser extent, cornets may be made by other manufacturers.
Boosey And Hawkes Uk Series Of Abusive
No supplies have been made to either GHH or RCN since 8 December 1986 although all outstanding liabilities to B&H have been cleared since March. (9) The most significant allegations may be summarized as follows:(a) that B&H had pursued injustified litigation in the United Kingdom against BBI for breach of copyright which it (B&H) eventually had to abandon but which had the effect of imposing a heavy financial burden on the applicants and of delaying the launching of the new range at a critical time (b) that B&H had managed for some time effectively to cut off BBI's source of components in Germany by bringing an unjustified legal action for 'slavish copying' against the supplier (B&H lost both the initial proceedings and the later appeal) (c) that B&H had taken reprisals against GHH and RCN by withdrawing credit facilities and closing their account without notice, refusing them all further supplies of instruments and spare parts, harassing them by oppressive legal proceedings for debt, and in the case of GHH, attempting (unsuccessfully) to procure the finance company with which it worked to repossess GHH's stock.(10) The present application for interim measures is concerned particularly with the refusal of supplies to GHH and RCN. According to information reaching B&H, BBI intended to manufacture at the rate of 200 instruments per month, some 40 % of B&H's current production.(8) The applicants allege that, as soon as B&H became aware in late November 1986 of the existence of BBI and of its connections with GHH and RCN, it took a series of abusive actions to ensure that the new manufacturing venture was eliminated before it could become established.Certain actions were said to have been aimed directly at BBI but others were (it is alleged) intended to undermine it indirectly by damaging the existing retail and repair businesses of the individuals behind the new venture. B&H believed that the direct selling mehtods of BBI would enable that firm to undercut the prices of its retail dealer network, while offering a product of the same technical excellence. BBI plans to market a broad range by direct selling to brass bands, in contrast to B&H which sells primarily through specialist brass band dealers. A large proportion of components for BBI's instruments were to be made under contract by a German manufacturer and then assembled in the Luton factory.
