I see no passing off here. The logo does not even remotely look like to the other one. Not the same colour, same shape and as mentioned not in the same industry. More than likely this will be rejected by the court.
Intellectual property is a bit of a problem now. I can foresee in maybe 10-15 years time when copyright will be abandoned. The same for trademarking. China is the emerging market and they care little for either of the concepts.
BTW Woolies are no angels either. Their practices are questionable too with regard to smaller sellers in the malls they occupy. Perhaps this is part of Karma.
