The parties disputed property rights in certain computer software. Birss HHJ refused a transfer to the high court and said: ‘However, in fact at the moment we do not know whether this case will be anything like as complicated as it might seem. That will depend on the process of disclosure and rounds of pleadings which are inevitable in a software copyright case. Although it sounds complicated, in fact it is inevitable that copyright cases of this kind have to be looked at this way. They do require more management than other intellectual property cases.’
