Would you have put a comma before "but"?

Identifying such rules lies not only in the interest of the Court, but also in that of X, Y and Z, which otherwise risk having to contend with...

Thanks.

dentifying such rules lies [not only in the interest of the Court], but [also in that of X, Y and Z]

My preference is for no comma.
