A planned ABC Television broadcast of an interview with the former Labor leader Mark Latham has been withdrawn tonight because of legal action in the New South Wales Supreme Court.
News Limited has successfully sought a temporary injunction restraining the ABC from broadcasting interviews with Mr Latham which were to feature on the Enough Rope and Lateline programs tonight.
News Limited applied for an injunction on the grounds of a breach of confidentiality and a breach of contract with Mr Latham's book publisher, Melbourne University Press.
The court is now hearing an ABC application to dissolve the injunction.
