Judgment Given On Disqualification Term
In a reserved Equity Court judgment today Mr Justice Roper dismissed the suit brought oy the racehorse trainer Alexander Higgins, a former trainer in India, against the Australian Jockey Club. Higgins had sought an injunction to restrain the club from treating him as a disqualified person. Last August Higgins, who had owned horses in New South Wales, Victoria and New Zealand, asked the Court to declare him not a disqualified person according to the Australian Jockey Club rules. This application was also refused. Mr Justice Roper' found that the club had not threatened to treat Higgins as disqualified. The club contended that, though it had refused entry of his horse Mayfowl in a race under a rule which did not require it to give any grounds for the rejection, it had neser taken action to prevent Higgins from entering the Randwick racecourse.
