Here is the full decision:

"Larrikin Music Publishing Pty Ltd v EMI Songs Australia Pty Limited [2010] FCA 29 (4 February 2010)"

Note that in copyright law, "substantial part" is not about a magic percentage of a work, but can be a single hook or even a few notes if it's something like the glissando bass notes played by Herbie Flowers at the beginning of Lou Reed's "Walk on the wild Side".
