Summary judgment under Order 14 was refused and the summons dismissed because multiple genuine triable issues existed: absence of pleaded contemporaneous knowledge for secondary copyright infringement; a substantial question as to validity of the registered design (whether the oval unit is an "article" sold separately); uncertainty whether the goods were imported into Hong Kong; and a triable issue as to the defendant's knowledge of the registration relevant to damages, such that summary disposal was inappropriate.
