BROADCAST TEST CASE
DECISION OF THE JUDGE AN INJUNCTION REFUSED Received Nov. 26, 10.40 p.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 26. In the racing broadcast test case 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 the defendant wrongfully collated information. The Judge added that what the defendants had dona was to place at the disposal of others something they acquired from the plaintiff in exercise of a legal right, though without payment of express permission. The Judge held that defendants should not be restrained from doing so, hut in view of the additional inducements thus offered for Illegal betting and losses that he thought likely to develop for racing clubs, the whole matter might be brought before Parliament or the authority responsible for the issue of broadcast licences. The plaintiff company indicated that an appeal was likely.
