Samsung has appealed a ruling by an Australian court that prevents it from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country in an effort to get the tablet on store shelves in time for the holidays. Samsung attorney Neil Young accused Justice Annabelle Bennett of making “irrelevant considerations” and “making errors of law in her approach” to the injunction. The request for an appeal hearing will be granted by Justice Lindsay Foster, likely for the week of November 21st, <em>The Wall Street Journal</em> reported on Thursday. Samsung and Apple are currently locked in a number of legal battles around the globe. Apple has successfully blocked Samsung’s local retailers in Australia and <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/12/samsung-to-tweak-galaxy-smartphones-dodge-european-sales-ban/">The Netherlands</a> from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
