Courts wrangle over cyberstalking

[David Goldstein <goldstein_david@yahoo.com.au>]

Hi all

An interesting court case about the ability of an Australian being
pursued by the Canadian courts, which I guess follows on from the
Tobin (sp) case and the Yahoo case... although I could be mistaken...

Courts wrangle over cyberstalking

A criminalogist has urged Australian governments to fast-track new
computer crime laws after a further appeal was lodged in a
controversial cyberstalking case. 

Brian Andrew Sutcliffe, 37, who is accused of stalking a Canadian
actress by e-mail, has appealed against the decision of a Supreme
Court judge that the case can be heard in Australia. 

The judge overturned an earlier ruling by a magistrate who had
dismissed the charge, arguing lack of jurisdiction.
