Headnote
Appeal allowed on a jurisdictional point of real practical importance in design litigation. Where a defendant pleads invalidity of the registered design in its written statement, section 22(4) requires the suit to be transferred to the High Court for decision, and the Court held that the Commercial Court could not avoid that mandate by regarding the defence as vague or insubstantial.
