JUDGE’S RULING.
RACING BROADCASTS. SYDNEY, Nov. 26. In his judgment in the broadcasting action of the Victoria Park Racing and Recreation Grounds Co. in favour of the defendant company 2UW, with costs, Mr Justice \Nicholas, in dismissing the application for an injunction, held that the plaintiff racecourse company was not entitled to relief on the ground that defendant wrongfully collated information. The Judge added that what defendants had done was to place at the disposal of others something they acquired from plaintiff in exercise of a legal right, though without payment or express permission. The Judge held that defendants should not be restrained from doing so but, in view of the additional inducements thus offered for illegal betting and the losses thought likely to racing clubs, the whole matter might be brought before Parliament or the authority responsible for the issue of broadcast licenses. The plaintiff company indicated that an appeal was likely.
