The responsible trading standards authority for estee lauder in the UK is Westminster City Council. I spoke to them on the phone today. They said that metric is mandatory and non-metric is permitted. Metric must be at least as prominent as non-metric. The officer that I spoke to said that he thought it probably meant that metric should come first. I am not sure if a court would agree with his interpretation. In any case he said he was not going to take any action.
