Why does he have to sell MF anything if he doesn't want to?

Taking a quickie look at the law, it’s no so much the refusal to supply goods as the reason the supplier gave for not supplying the goods ie, competition from another customer. I suppose it a bit like a shop’s right not to serve you except if they give a reason on racial grounds in which case the shop has broken the law.

It is still worth writing a letter. If the letter is strong enough it may well change the mind of the supplier.

Leatherhead, Surrey, Plan B's flying along, so we've moved into new office twice the size and taken over a warehouse.

Because he had a business contract to supply.

If he is then getting out of it by using a clause that wasn't originally mentioned then it's a breach of contract.

Not beyond the initial or subsequent orders he didn't. Unless I've missed a post.

As understand this case, each order is a separate contract, and they are not obliged to enter into any contracts they don't feel like.

Call it a beer fella and you're on.

To be honest if the nause me around I'll just order to a different address. Where u based now gooner?

Sounds more like an admin screw up.

When MF first approached the supplier they should have checked if they were supplying anyone else in the area - looks they forgot to as opposed to reneging on a contract.

Gooner - how is your new business going?

[n5gooner]

how about we order them for you, I'll stick them in our 1,400sqft storage and you can arrange collection?

I would definitely get the lawyers involved. And write to the Guardian. Their customer base will desert them when they find out that they are shafting innocent hippies to get in with big business.

You are a hippy aren't you?

It is called "restraint of trade" and is common law. You need to draft a letter and send it to the other two parties as a first step. If you want me to draft a letter; you can PM me.

they sell those in waitrose

EXACTLY MY POINT!!!

Grrrrr. Waitrose only do two or three scents though. I was doing a dozen.

[Paddy]

I don't think you will get anywhere with that.

Isn't this a similar scenario to when the supermarkets were selling Levis 501's, which they had obtained on the grey market, at a discounted price and Levis took them to court and won.

Not the same, the I think Levis were grey imports.
