Karen Murphy has had her case referred to the European Court of Justice.
The second part of the Murphy case kicked off this week – hot on the heels of the decision by a High Court judge to refer the landmark battle between the Premier League and foreign satellite suppliers AV Station and QC Leisure to the European Court of Justice.
Round one went against Murphy of the Red, White & Blue in Portsmouth, who was appealing against her conviction for screening Premiership football via Greek channel Nova Supersport.
Lord Justice Stanley Burnton and Mr Justice Barling decided to refer the case to the European court.
Paul Dixon of Molesworths, Bright and Clegg said: "It will now be up to the European Court to decide between the interests of millions of EU Citizens (including those who earn their living playing in the Premier League) and the developing European audiovisual area on the one hand, and the attempts by FAPL to shore up an antiquated and damaging system of territorial restrictions on the reception of Satellite Broadcasts for their private commercial gain."
