Bell fights injunction over wiretap and records
Southwestern Bell lawyers argue the injunction prohibiting tapping phones and destroying records causes exceedingly great harm. They contend Judge Curry lacked basis for the order, which followed a $29.2 million damage suit brought by Ousted Bell executive James H. Ashley and T.O. Gravitt’s family alleging wiretaps and destroyed records. Bell denies the accusations and says no evidence was presented at the hearing. Green says the injunction implies guilt despite the judge noting it does not. The appeal court weighs whether the injunction was void for lacking stated grounds.
