The Court allowed the appeal in part and granted an interlocutory injunction from the date of judgment because there was a serious question to be tried on copyright and the balance of convenience favored the appellant: potential irreparable damage to the appellant's reputation and exclusivity from large-volume exports of inferior copies outweighed the respondents' loss of turnover which is quantifiable and compensable; the trial judge erred by treating the ex parte interim orders as limited/extendible rather than recognizing the need for a fresh injunction properly tailored in time.
