Summary judgment was refused because defendants demonstrated a bona fide triable defence of estoppel/acquiescence founded on industry practice and evidence of widespread use of DIY KMVs; interim payment was refused for same reason; stay of the action pending Copyright Tribunal proceedings was improper in respect of KMVs outside statutory licensing and therefore that part of stay was set aside; late fresh evidence on appeal was inadmissible because not pivotal and filed too late.
