WHY is the Ritz hotel doing this? Out of badness? The precedent has already been set, for 80 years! There is no way that the BALLROOM could be confused with the HOTEL! What about the myriad of other Ritz businesses throughout the country? Logically, the hotel would now have to take action to close them all!

ridiculous that a venue that had the name for years is now threatened. Even dafter when London ritz has only just registered the name

How ridiculous! What is the Ritz, London, doing this for? What about all the other Ritz establishments? Are they being contacted too? This just smacks of senseless bullying. Does the Ritz, London really feel people will confuse the 2?

Utterly ridiculous - does 80 years in existence not mean anything to the 'powers that be' in London!

As a child I used to go to this cinema and we always knew it as the Ritz.When I go to Brighouse now I still feel pleased to see Ritz above its doors and there is no way it could be confused with the Ritz in London.Leave it alone it is doing no harm but making people like myself happy to see it just as it is with the name i remember.

I can not believe that the ritz in London can do this to an old ballroom and get away with it!!!! I really hope that the ritz in brighouse will win. Good luck.

Don't the morons in London realize there is a significant difference between 'The Ritz Hotel' and the 'Ritz Ballroom' - Hotel - Ballroom!!!!

Laughable a big London Hotel bothered about their name after 80 years! Someone at the Ritz Hotel should have more important things to do. Makes me mad.

The London Ritz are pathetic bully boys. The Brighouse Ritz holds a special place in people's hearts and memories, that's apart from being a supe, value for money night out!

Those responsible at the Ritz hotel in London should be ashamed of themselves for acting in this deplorable way.

I am a Yorkshire man and wonder why London ritz didn't say something when this famous place opened? Are you jealous more people want to come to the ritz brighouse. I think so.

Unbelievably idiotic. Whoever thought this up is a total imbecile. The Ritz in London should be the one to change their name.
