The court found that there is a bona fide serious issue to be tried concerning the existence and terms of the alleged oral agreement and that the balance of convenience favoured preserving the plaintiffs' proprietary rights as registered owners by granting an interim injunction; absence of written agreement and disputed terms require trial and do not bar injunctive relief; the risk of prejudice to plaintiffs and inability adequately to enjoy registered ownership pending trial warranted the interim orders.

Procedural Posture

Civil Suit / Hearing on Application for Interlocutory (interim) Injunction; Order Granted

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether a bona fide serious issue (prima facie case) exists regarding an alleged oral agreement and breach
  2. 2 Whether the balance of convenience favours granting an interim injunction to maintain the status quo
  3. 3 Whether damages are an adequate remedy or whether irreparable harm to the registered owners would occur without injunction

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that there is a bona fide serious issue to be tried concerning the existence and terms of the alleged oral agreement and that the balance of convenience favoured preserving the plaintiffs' proprietary rights as registered owners by granting an interim injunction; absence of written agreement and disputed terms require trial and do not bar injunctive relief; the risk of prejudice to plaintiffs and inability adequately to enjoy registered ownership pending trial warranted the interim orders.
