In December 2020, Mr Frisby was sued by businessman Paul Clements, who claimed the company owner had taken his plan for the online fashion brand, including its name.
Mr Clements alleged at the High Court in Manchester that he had asked Mr Frisby to test and start his business plan, but that Mr Frisby said it had no future before developing the idea himself.
However, in a ruling on Thursday, Judge Mark Cawson KC rejected Mr Clements’s claim and found he had only been considered as a potential investor in Mr Frisby’s idea.
Judge Cawson said: "I have come to the firm view that the narrative advanced by Mr Frisby is the true narrative and that the narrative advanced by Mr Clements is a false one."
Following the judgement, Mr Frisby said: "After what has been the most difficult and unimaginable few months of my life, I am so pleased and relieved that today the judge and the high court have rightly ruled in my favour."
He added: "I cannot begin to tell you how gut-wrenching this process has been over the last 18 months.
“I have worked tirelessly over the last 10 years alongside
