lm group wins historical court battle against Ryanair

8 mai 2019 – Bravonext SA (“lastminute.com”), a subsidiary of lm group (Six Swiss Exchange listed lastminute.com N.V.) and a European leader in the online travel and leisure industry, have announced that the Court of Lugano has fully accepted its motion against Ryanair, confirming that lm group can lawfully continue to offer to all its customers the possibility to compare and reserve Ryanair tickets through the lm group websites (lastminute.com, volagratis.com, rumbo.es, weg.de, bravofly.com, and others). The ruling states that lm group does not violate any intellectual property rights, unfair competition legislation or any contractual obligation towards Ryanair in performing its online travel agency activities in respect of Ryanair flights.

Walder Wyss partner Stefano Codoni successfully represented lm group throughout this long lasting dispute.
