And now the Court must determine if a permanent injunction should be issued, once again. A temporary restraining order has been granted preventing New Jersey “from implementing, enforcing, or taking any action” regarding the new law, and specifically restraining New Jersey Thoroughbred Horesemen’s Association and New Jersey Sports Exposition Authority from conducting sports wagering and even advertising or promoting it. After a reboot of New Jersey’s sports betting law, the parties are once again in Court in front of Judge Shipp, with the professional sports leagues claiming that New Jersey’s 2014 Sports Wagering Law is still in violation of PASPA.
