The appellant appealed a summary judgment dismissing his $2,000,000 copyright infringement action against the respondent transit commission.
The appellant claimed copyright over transit route maps based on an unpublished U.S. copyright registration.
The Court of Appeal rejected the respondent's preliminary objection that the appeal belonged in the Divisional Court, noting the claim amount exceeded $50,000.
The Court upheld the motion judge's findings that there was no originality in the appellant's maps and no evidence the respondent used them, dismissing the appeal.
