What does this "Anor" and "Ors" mean? They are in the parentheses, each after the names of the plaintiff and the defendent respectively. Thanks.
================

Dyson fought back and obtained a High Court injunction against German Pool to prevent any sales of the infringing fan (see Dyson Technology Limited & Anor v German Pool Group Company Limited & Ors [2011] HKCU 1109, HCA838/2011).

Specialists say that if it had not been so proactive, not only would the price point of the genuine article have been challenged, but the brand would have suffered damage to its credibility – the fake simply did not work properly although it looked similar to the original.

"Additionally, in cases which have many parties, Courts sometimes abbreviate the case name to, for example, Smith and Anor v Brown & Ors - where Anor means Another and Ors means Others."

As far as I'm aware, used in most English-speaking legal systems apart from the US. (American colleagues please correct me if I'm wrong).

"Et al" refers to 'and others' so corresponds only to the "ors" part. Also used in the UK.
