Australian court grants Kjerulf Ainsworth access to AGT records ahead of possible legal action

The Federal Court of Australia has issued an order authorizing Kjerulf Ainsworth to inspect certain internal books and records of industry supplier Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT) with a view to determining whether he will commence legal proceedings against the company.
