EU court says Malta gaming law can inform asset-freezing decisions
The European Court of Justice said national courts may consider Malta’s gaming protection law when deciding whether to freeze assets urgently, according to the report. The ruling arose from an Austrian player’s attempt to recover losses from Mr Green, which he said had operated without an Austrian licence. Austrian courts must decide whether to take further action.
The decision may influence asset-freezing applications involving claims against operators and Malta’s gaming protection law.
