Designs Act 2003

A document or instrument in respect of which an entry has not been made in the Register is not admissible in evidence in a court as proof of title to a design, or an interest in a design, except as follows:

in the case of an application under section 120;

if the court concerned directs that the document or instrument is admissible.

However, subsection (1) does not restrict the admissibility in evidence in a court of a document or instrument in relation to a PPSA security interest.

Certain particulars relating to registrations in respect of PPSA security interests under the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 are admissible in evidence: see section 174 of that Act.
