The "sky blue" playing strip of Coventry City Football Club and formerly the black shirts (now black and gold) (with their wasp logo) of Wasps RFC have been well-known in sporting circles for many years. The on-field performances of the two teams, playing football under their respective codes, have brought pleasure to the many who have followed them. None of that, however, is material to the issue arising on this appeal.
Sky Blue Sports & Leisure Ltd & Ors, R (on the application of) v Coventry City Council & Ors [2018] EWCA Civ 2252 (12 October 2018) per McCombe LJ at [6].
