    Mr X owns the name, and can stop you using it if he wishes. The information leaflets regarding the registering of a business name (as opposed to a company) are quite clear that registering a business name gives you no ownership rights to that name (i.e. you should still register it as a trade mark), whereas registering a company does give you ownership rights to the company name. More information is available on the cro website:

    To a degree Mr X may be restained if the name is nearly identical to another's name. Passing off comes to mind.
