eBay refutes false claims by JK Rowling representatives
Delhi High Court denied Rowling request for an injunction against eBay
-- eBay India strongly refutes the false claims of JK Rowling representatives in the media about a purported injunction by the Delhi High Court against eBay India (formerly Baazee.com).
In fact, in November 2004, the Delhi High Court DENIED Rowling’s request for an injunction against eBay and found that eBay had fulfilled all of its legal obligations by removing all the offending listings of Harry Potter ebooks by 4 Baazee.com sellers.
For the last two years, the case has been proceeding normally through the Indian legal system and is at the stage of ‘framing the issues’ (pretrial). The new development in January 2007 is that the Delhi High Court affirmed the 2004 injunction against the 4 offending sellers who had been selling ebooks. This has no impact on eBay itself.
