A group claims it was forced to change its name by the owners of easyJet, who took legal action against them.

Easy life said the airline's parent company, easyGroup, was suing them because their name was too similar.

The Leicester group said it was confident it had never affected the company's operations.

EasyGroup said it would be "unfair" to let the group use the "easy" brand without paying royalties.

In a statement on social media, easy life said the group was being sued due to the similarity of its name to that of the company .

"We have worked hard to establish our brand. I am certain that we have never affected their business," the group said.

"While we find this whole situation hilarious, we are virtually helpless in the face of such a massive undertaking."
