IP in the Design of a Dress

I just came across a reference to this case in two media reports [1], [2]. I couldn’t find the actual judgment although I have to admit that I didn’t spend too much time searching for it. The report in the SMH says:“The case has ended with a victory - and an award of $17,500 damages - for Melbourne fashion label Review over the Sydney company behind fashion labels Charlie Brown and Lili.Justice Christopher Jessup found that the Lili dress sold in Sydney had been copied from the Review dress.”
