Stanleybet Clinches Important Victory in Italian Supreme Administrative Court
Nov 20, 2009
- Italy
The Consiglio di Stato, the Italian Supreme Administrative High Court, issued a positive ruling for Stanleybet in late October, bringing the British company a step closer to being recognised as a legal entity in Italy.
"The Consiglio di Stato ruling goes in the direction of reinforcing the legitimacy of Stanley's position. It is clear that in Italy there exists a bipolar system: AAMS licence holders on one side and Stanley on the other", said John Whittaker, Stanleybet's CEO.
The judges turned down all objections from the Italian state, effectively exhausting all legal avenues under the Italian administrative law to prevent Stanleybet from operating in the country.
