Controversial investor Nicholas Bolton's Bottle Domains company yesterday succesfully applied for a Supreme Court injuction to block Australia's domain name rugulator from terminating its accreditation.
.au Domain Administration (auDA) terminated Bottle's accreditation earlier this week due to security issues.
But the court granted a temporary interim injunction late yesterday, allowing the reinstatement of Bottle Domains' accreditation until the matter could be heard on 22 April. De-accreditation would stop Bottle Domains from being able to provide its domain name services.
auDA said it had applied to the court this morning to "seek clarification as to the effect of the court's orders".
According to Bottle Domains, the appeal was being heard this morning at 10am.
auDA said that it had terminated Bottle Domain's accreditation because the company had committed a serious breach of its registrar agreement.
