According to an article on the Golden Gate Yacht Club website, the New York State Supreme Court orders Alinghi Club to speed up the legal process after granting an order sought by the Golden Gate Yacht Club (BMW Oracle Racing).  Tom Ehman, Head of External Affairs for BMW Oracle Racing said:

“We would still prefer to negotiate a solution outside the court, but we see SNG as violating its responsibilities as Trustee, and we are fully prepared to go the legal distance if needed to stop the America’s Cup being subverted into a hopelessly one-sided event,”

This action seeks a preliminary injunction to obtain critical information related to the club’s challenge under the Deed of Gift. GGYC asserts that SNG (Alinghi’s yacht club) must accept the challenge by the USA team. This case could be heard by the courts as early as October 2007.
