Megaupload can appeal evidence ruling in NZ Supreme Court |
May 16, 2013
New Zealand's Supreme Court on Thursday granted Megaupload leave to appeal a ruling that denied it access to evidence the U.S. government holds.The permission gives Megaupload another chance to make its case to see a wide range of evidence it contends is necessary prior to extradition hearings scheduled for August for its founder, Kim Dotcom, and three colleagues. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case in July.A New Zealand District Court ruled in May 2012 that the U.S. should turn over documents supporting its contention that Megaupload "willfully" infringed copyrighted material and other documents related to charges of money laundering, racketeering and wire fraud.The decision was mostly upheld after a judicial review in August 2012, but reversed in March by the Court of Appeal. Megaupload then sought leave to appeal to New Zealand's Supreme Court, said attorney Ira P. Rothken.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
