Judge to consider rules in America’s Cup case
NEW YORK — A judge has declined to hold America’s Cup champion Alinghi of Switzerland in contempt of court and will consider rules clarifications sought by American challenger BMW Oracle Racing.
Justice Shirley Kornreich of the Supreme Court of the State of New York is expected to rule in 10 to 14 days.
Kornreich also refused Alinghi’s request to disqualify BMW Oracle Racing unless the Americans provide a measurement certificate for their 90-foot trimaran.
The bitter rivals are scheduled to meet in a rare best-of-3 showdown on Feb. 8 in a port to be picked by Alinghi.
