What is hart vs stag?

Hart vs Stag is a legal case that occurred in 2006 in the United Kingdom. The case involved a dispute between two former members of the band Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley (Hart) and Steve Norman (Stag), over the use of the band's name. Hadley had announced his intention to reform the band, but Norman objected to the use of the name without his involvement.

The case went to court, with Hadley arguing that he had the right to use the Spandau Ballet name as he was the lead vocalist and one of the founding members of the band. Norman countered that he was an integral part of the band and that the name could not be used without his consent.

In the end, the case was settled out of court with Hadley agreeing not to use the Spandau Ballet name without the consent of all of the former members of the band. The dispute highlighted the importance of clear agreements and communication between band members, as well as the potential legal dangers of using a band name without the consent of all members.
