##### 28 Applications to prescribed court
At any time after the registration of a design any person interested may apply to a prescribed court:
(a) for the cancellation of the registration of the design on the ground that the design has been published in the Commonwealth prior to the priority date in respect of the application for registration of the design; or
(b) for the grant of a compulsory licence on the ground that the design is applied by manufacture to any article in a country outside the Commonwealth and is not so applied in the Commonwealth to such an extent as is reasonable in the circumstances of the case;
and the court may make such order on the application as it considers just:
Provided that the court shall not make any order under this section which is at variance with any treaty, convention, arrangement or engagement with any country outside the Commonwealth.
