RACING BROADCAST
DECISION OF AUSTRALIAN COURT
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copvrtgh t
(Received November 26, 8.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 26.
In the racing broadcast test case, Mr Justice Nicholas, dismissing the application for an injunction against 2UW station, held that 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 the 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 losses he thought likely to racing clubs, the whole matter might be brought before Parliament, or the authority responsible for the issue of broadcast licenses. Cos’s were awarded defendants.
Plaintiff company indicated that an appeal is likely.
