McInformation

One thing that struck me was a particular lawsuit involving a UK small business because of its name and the use of "Mc."And it was owned by a Scottish woman, no less! They tried the same thing in Denmark and China. McDonalds has a long history of suing those who speak out against it, as the 13 lawsuits in the past 20 years show. And that's just in the UK, where, as you will read in the link, the McDonald's lawsuit of two activists was the longest court battle in UK history.

While the UK courts ruled in favor of McDonald's, the activists refused to pay damages to the chain. They then sued their own government in the European Court of Human Rights, which ruled in their favor.
