- High Court
The interim take-down orders were revoked because the judge was not satisfied there was a real/substantial risk that jurors would disobey clear judicial directions against internet research; the orders were overbroad and impracticable, risked permanent deletion of the public historical record, imposed undue operational burdens on media, lacked necessary specificity for search-engine compliance (URLs), and the named Google New Zealand entity lacked the capacity to implement the search-engine disablement sought by the applicant.
