Owzat! Couple settle cricket touting claim

A Marlow based pilot and his wife have settled a potential civil court case action with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for 'industrial scale' touting. Nick Hubscher and his wife Judith were accused of using multiple false names and addresses to buy and 'unlawfully traffic' 800 tickets to England's cricket test matches against Australia at the Oval, Old Trafford and Chester-le-Street in Country Durham. The ECB brought a £50,000 claim after an investigation by the Durham Country Cricket Club and the couple offered no defence, settling for an undisclosed sum.
