Italy’s Council of State suspends ruling that overturned betting licence refusal
Italy’s Council of State temporarily suspended a Calabria regional court ruling that had overturned the refusal of a betting-shop licence. It granted the Interior Ministry’s request, finding that its objections needed examination on the merits and that the public interest favoured preventing activity by an applicant who had not adequately shown the required qualifications.
The licence refusal remains effective while the appeal proceeds, affecting whether the applicant can operate a betting shop.
