Malta disputes European Commission warning over gambling law and EU judgments
Malta is disputing a European Commission warning that it must comply with EU law and recognise court judgments against Malta-licensed operators. The dispute concerns Article 56A of Malta’s Gaming Act, which the country says supports its position on foreign judgments; lawyers cited in the coverage argue the Commission may be exceeding its authority.
The dispute concerns whether Malta’s law can limit enforcement of other countries’ judgments against locally licensed gambling operators.
