    LL.B. CONSULTANCY LTD v. PROWAY LTD AND OTHERS
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA5130/2001

    Given the small quantity of material allegedly taken and the absence of evidence from the plaintiff's author as to originality or source, the defendant raised a plausible alternative source (the 'Lowtax' site), creating a triable issue on whether a substantial part was taken; accordingly summary judgment was refused and leave to defend granted.
