- Court of Appeal
The Court held that the parties' dealings constituted a single, integrated transaction in which Oraka requested the drawings and there was an antecedent implied agreement to pay in money or money's worth (manifested by the commercial arrangement leading to $26,000 for tooling and manufacture); accordingly the February 1993 drawings were commissioned and copyright vests in the appellants, requiring reversal of the High Court declaration.
