Because they are still building a case, and I suspect they want to make sure everything is iron clad. The ACCC's official response is that they're unable to respond at this point of time. Them acting prematurely would be as foolish as police arresting someone for a crime when they were still in the process of gathering concrete evidence. It's a similar situation to the end of last year where I was the victim of a violent crime. Police did not want to move until their case was rock solid. What resulted was that my perpetrator was forced to plead guilty. The same holds true with this situation. |
they could still ask for an interim interdict, providing that remedy is available in the jurisdiction they are filing (or going to file) the complaint against Sony.
the courts can issue it sometimes in a day if they show that they have a prima facie right exists and a reasonable apprehention that the right is being and will continue to be infringed before the main case even gets to court.
unfortunately, I don't think the above can be shown by the complainants, so now if they are going forward with this court case, it's going to be be difficult to show it's not a waste of the courts time and money.
imo.
