APRA v Cougars Tavern

APRA has obtained a judgment against the operators and company directors responsible for two public venues that played music without licences.

The Federal Magistrates Court ordered injunctions, damages, additional damages (including for flagrant conduct) and costs. However, the orders were stayed to allow both the companies’ liquidators and the individuals concerned to respond.
