Abstract

On 8 June 2004, Advocate-General Stix-Hackl at last delivered her opinion on the questions referred to the European Court of Justice (“ECJ”) by the English Court of Appeal in the British Horseracing Board v William Hill case. In doing so, the Advocate-General (“A-G”) has provided some useful clarification of the scope of the protection afforded by database rights. We now await to hear further from the ECJ, although there is currently no indication as to when a final judgment can be expected.
