The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association
 October 27, 2008, 10:00 am (3 years ago)The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association has now verified that it has appealed the Kentucky Court of Appeals for a court order of mandamus, according to InfoPowa News report. This kind of order is usually utilized to enlist the assist of a superior court in initiating a lower court to perform obligatory or solely ministerial duties appropriately.
iMEGA's 239 page petition insists on the Appeals Court to mediate in regulations by Judge Thomas Wingate of the Franklin Circuit Court, who last week ruled in support of an effort by the state of Kentucky to confiscate 141 global domain names from outside the state. The contentious ruling has triggered significant argument, with questions of law, constitutionality and Net impartiality being questioned.
The holders of the domains have until December 3 to persuade Kentucky officials that they have efficiently blocked entry to their online gambling sites for Kentucky residents, failing which the domains are going to be rewarded to the state. Initially scheduled for November 17, the hearing was postponed to December 3 by Judge Wingate after a Motion to Stay was filed by the Interactive Gaming Council last week.
