Australia court decides against Sauber

In the annoying case of Giedo van der Garde vs SauberF1 has taken a turn against the team.  VDG has won this round, but sounds like Sauber will appeal.  Personally I don't understand how an Australian court has the necessary expertise to decide on a case between a foreign team and foreign driver, regardless if the first race is being contested there.  A decision one way or another would have long term effects on both parties.  The proper court is either the FIA or the F1 Contract Recognition Board.  

Of course the best way to decide would be to run all three drivers in practice and put the fastest two in the cars for the race.

I have very little sympathy for van der Garde.  In contesting his drive, he is destroying his F1 career.  I don't think a drive in a Sauber is really worth that sort of thing.  Every other team will view him as 'Hands Off' material if he sues his employer.
