CALOR GAS HAS labeled a court order against a Waterford fuel supplier ‘a victory against unauthorised filling and trademark infringement’ today.
Langan Fuels Limited was warned by the Commercial Court that a prison sentence could be imposed on owners if they failed to comply with a court order to “not handle or deal with Calor-branded gas cylinders in any capacity in the future”.
Calor secured orders against the company directors following repeated breaches of a 12 March ruling regarding the sale of Calor-branded cylinders that were not filled with the brand’s product.
Calor said they were concerned about the cylinders being “illegally filled and sold to the public”.
“The consequences of this illegal filling included a direct risk of injury to the public as a result of violations of accepted industry safety standards and misrepresentation of these cylinders as authentic Calor-filled products,” it said in a statement.
The 12 March order prohibited any so-called ‘rogue refilling’ of the cylinders. Further proceedings were started on 30 September as Calor said it had “new evidence” that the practice had continued.
In court, Justice Kelly asked directors Gerard and Breda Langan to give personal undertakings under oath to comply with the order.
The judge told the court that should the directors breach their personal undertakings, an application may be made to have them committed to prison for non-compliance. He highlighted that imprisonment would be a “very real possibility”.
Pirate refilling involves customers taking back empty cylinders and suppliers refilling them. Often, the branding is either grinded away or a sticker placed over the company’s name. Prices are often lowered also.

He didn’t see that coming
@logs byrne: but we all saw this coming!
@logs byrne: who says he didn’t.
@logs byrne: He tweeted the news of his death just after it happened RIP..
We haven’t heard the end of him.
@Fr Romeo sensini.: maybe he will make appearance on the next most haunted
@Fr Romeo sensini.:…or the start!
Seemed like a decent bloke but he was caught bluffing on Most Haunted.
@Alan McArdle: yeah top bloke exploiting and fleecing the grieving by pretending to talk to their lived ones from beyond the grave
@Alan McArdle: how was he decent?
He was a con man.
@As the fella says: just a con man
Great chance for him to come back and spill the beans about the other side.
He always made me laugh, even if that wasn’t his intention. Very young to die. RIP
Some horrible comments on here. I’m sure his loved ones don’t find it amusing. Rip x
@Beauty Emporium: I’m sure his loved ones won’t be reading this.
@páraicS: how do you know ? Isn’t it better to just show a bit of respect regardless ?
@Beauty Emporium: I’m sure they won’t be reading them
@Beauty Emporium: Why? Did he show any respect for his vulnerable clients when charging money for lies about them? He was a complete scammer and con man.
@páraicS: Why do you read the journal?
RIP
way way back in the early 1980s i was working as head chef in a restaurant in a small cheshire town near liverpool – the restaurant owner was asked to lease a room for a ‘spiritualist evening’ featuring ‘a well known local medium ‘ (derek acorah -before he was on tv etc) anyway on the evening he arrived at the venue and was shown up to the meeting room , we were asked by the owner to send up a pot of tea and some refreshments – the girl who took the tray up to him said ” the manager said to bring this up for you ” achora replied -”oh ,i wasn’t expecting anything like that ” – “well your not much of a clairvoyant then are you “she replied !
I predict we are all going to die one day
@Tony O Neill: only 93% certain though
@Tony O Neill: just one day?
Absolute spoofer who preyed upon the weak, vulnerable & gullible
@Liam Ó hAodha: alot of whom find alot of comfort in mediums
@Liam Ó hAodha: priests up and down the country will be doing that at mass tomorrow and tonight. At least Most Haunted carried the disclaimer in the small print that it was first and foremost, entertainment.
@miju irl: In my experience it only stops you seeing that if you’re departed one is gone forever there is a peace in nothingness. I don’t want a man who behaved as Jesus Moses etc caring for loved ones in the afterlife with their record and the trouble and deception they caused. Its time religious platitudes were silenced. The truth as raw as it is is best
@miju irl: no difference between this and the Catholic Church
@miju irl: yeah that’d be great if they weren’t changing people €200+ A pop just to be told garbage that people post on social media
@Forest Hump: any church, not just catholic
@Liam Ó hAodha: he learned it all from the muppets in the DAIL
He’s going from host to guest
@Justice Mickey: host to ghost
@Justice Mickey:
Host to ghost?
@Ixtrix Net:
No, a guest on Most Haunted lol.
he’s in for the real thing now
Not that haunted so
Sam didn’t give him a heads up
@Tom Guthrie: yes very strange that . Cos Sam was always interrupting him . Making Derek stop what he was saying to nod and say thank you Sam . Maybe Sam knew it was coming and sought employment with a different medium
Rest in Peace
Can’t wait to hear about it when he comes back. A while new season of shows right there. Get on it Netflix.
His wife is giving away all his clothes, he was a medium…..
@Robc: OFAH!
The Bean Sidhe got him
Con man
Most Haunted
RIP
@miju irl: but he won’t, will he?
He’s at peace with Sam now…. RIP
Great show man
“Mark loves Dick……Mary loves Dick”
He was streaming live on Facebook a few weeks back, getting a fair bit of grief and slagging.
have your say
