The Court allowed the appeal: the respondents' UK registration was open to challenge by evidence of prior publication in Hong Kong under Cap.44 and the respondents failed to demonstrate requisite reputation for passing off; on balance of convenience (taking into account delay, status quo and comparative uncompensatable disadvantage) continuation of the ex-parte injunction was unjustified and the injunction was discharged.
