New Zealand TV Stations Lose Poker Ad AppealTV3 And C4 Lose Court Battle Over Asia Pacific Poker Tour Ads |
|
The New Zealand High Court has dismissed an appeal by TV Works, owner of TV3 and C4, over ads promoting the Asia Pacific Poker Tour.
According to Stuff.co.nz, Justice Ron Young ruled that the ads were defined as gambling under the Gambling Act and ruled in favour of the Department of Internal Affairs which was appealing an earlier District Court decision which ruled in the TV company’s favour.
However Justice Young did note he had some sympathy with TV Works as the legislation is far from clear. He referred the case back to the District Court for further consideration.
Earlier this month a similar ruling was made in favour of the government in Australia.
Korea’s Young-Shin Im has just won the APPT Cebu tournament for $132,000.
