Oak Capital executive Mo Ahmed sought an urgent interlocutory injunction before (Supreme Court) Justice Richard Attiwell on Thursday to stop Nine from airing the footage during the TV bounce at his Rialto offices on Monday.
A writ, filed with the court by Mr Ahmed, alleges Costello, son of former Nine Entertainment chairman and federal treasurer Peter Costello, “physically shoved, pushed and tripped” him.
William Houghton, KC, for Mr Ahmed, had applied for the interlocutory injunction, but it did not have to go ahead, with Nine agreeing in court to sign an undertaking that they would not air the footage, or attend or film at Mr Ahmed’s business until further order.
Oak Capital and Mr Ahmed are pursuing Nine, Costello and the unnamed cameraman for damages.
Justice Attiwell ordered that Nine identify who the cameraman was.
The case was adjourned to February.
Seb becoming the story again. What a surprise.
