- High Court
Given disputed factual matrix about whether the relationship was partnership, employment, or a hybrid, and because plaintiffs seek equitable remedies and rely on partnership-based restraints and fiduciary/confidentiality duties, s 161(3) does not oust the High Court's jurisdiction in this case; the defendant's r 5.49(3) application must be dismissed and the appearance set aside so the substantive proceedings can be heard in the High Court.
