Hendry and others v World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association Ltd: CA 11 Jul 2001

Expedited application for permission to appeal. Professional snooker players had sought an injunction to prevent their professional association bringing in a change of rules without the claimants having adequate opportunity to take advice.
Held: The refusal had been a matter of the exercise of a judicial discretion. The judge had had a difficult case, but had given proper reasons for his decision, and the appeal failed.
