Oracle go to court for to decide the date of the America’s Cup

The judge set the case for the May 14 hearin to decide when between  February or May 2010.
Less than a week has taken on BMW Oracle to return to the courts, forget any settlement with Alinghi. On Thursday, met in Geneva with the defender and nothing good out of the event because his next step was to return to the Supreme Court of New York.
The American team on Monday introduced a new question to the judge in the case, Shirley Kornreich, which asked him to decide on the date of the America’s Cup in multihulls must face the two teams.
Alinghi in Geneva to make the Cup in May 2010. Europeans rely on two teams that faced the northern hemisphere and that the race, by implication, is contesting in the upper part of the globe. Therefore the first time to compete is May 2010.
While Americans cling to the date of 8, 10 and February 12 as a day to be disputing the competition and the judge authorized to make on that date anywhere, but the judge gave Cahn first to Valencia .
Alinghi breakfast yesterday that the team did Larry Ellison will return to the Court of New York even before the second face to face event to be produced in a few weeks.
And just a day after you know it must return to court next May 14. At least the new judge has had the delicacy to give priority to the cause as it is expected a quick resolution of the problem.
The only thing that has asked the American team is that the judge should do when you read the competition. to this end, Alinghi has until 11 days to present its defense to the cause he has promoted the American team. On Thursday 14 will be the witnesses and the resolution is expected to be fast because the judge has to decide whether it is in February or May.
The date is the first case that the two unions have to confront the competition of shape multihulls. And it is quite likely not be the last time any of the parties return to New York to be the judges who give birth to the race.
The two unions are aware that the date is very important. For Oracle, a boat and sailing, all that is accelerating the process is beneficial. His sailboat is in navigating the waters of San Diego.
For his part, Alinghi has not yet thrown his sailboat water. Moreover, nobody has been able to view although there is talk that it will be a catamaran (two instead of three runners as the Americans) of almost 40 meters long, the maximum that allows the rule of the competition.
