Samsung argues that the judge who ordered its Galaxy Tab 10.1 to be banned from sale in Australia “misunderstood and misapplied” basic requirements of the law and elements of her reasoning were “grossly unjust”.

The appeal in the patent infringement case is being heard by the full bench including Justice Dowsett, Justice Foster and Justice Yates - who haven't made a decision yet but appeared to support a number of Samsung's arguments

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Apple was successful in October in winning a temporary injunction banning sales of Samsung's tablet in Australia until a final hearing could take place next year. Despite the injunction, several online sellers have made a mockery of the ruling by importing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from overseas and offering it to Australians.

“We contend that the primary judge made a series of fundamental errors in her disposition of the interlocutory application. They were all errors of principle,” Samsung's lawyer told the court.
