Auction of Umaga handbag video withdrawn by Trade Me
Published June 7th, 2006
The auction of a security video clip of Tana Umaga hitting teammate Chris Masoe with a handbag has been called off for breaching privacy law.
Trade Me removed the item after receiving legal advice against selling the footage taken from the security camera of a Christchurch bar.
The video was being auctioned by the owners of the bar after the handbag from the incident sold for $22,750 at the weekend.
The clip received bids of up to $5000 before the auction was shut down.
