Supposedly going to appeal to courts.
I hope not, but that is what I have heard.

From the rules of Harness Racing in New Zealand..Direct quote...(I cant transfer the whole PDF file here)...
Rule 1214 (2)..
Under these rules the decision of the Appeals Tribunal shall be final, shall bind all bodies and persons and shall not be subject to any appeal.

Doesn't matter they can still take it to court.

I'd say it would end up in High Court.

In The Gig quoted I believe that same thing Brenno/Teecee...High Court by Smokens owners.

it has to be the high court. Although the costs would be in the 100's of thousands, litigation is so costly plus the length of time it will take. From what I have read my opinion is they still will not win as they have to first prove that there was an error in the ruling/finding for an appeal to proceed to the High Court.
