Lombardy administrative court annuls Lodi bingo hall opening limits
The Lombardy Regional Administrative Court annulled Lodi’s order restricting a bingo hall’s opening hours, after the concessionaire challenged the measure. The court said the municipality’s investigation was inadequate and the restrictions were not shown to be necessary; Lodi may issue a new order after further assessment.
The ruling requires municipalities to substantiate gambling venue hour restrictions before imposing them on operators.
