Industry groups coordinate response to provisional decree and weigh Supreme Court action, reimbursement claims
Digital betting companies spent the weekend preparing a legal challenge to the government’s ban on their operations, with industry associations and lawyers coordinating a joint response to the provisional presidential decree issued Friday (Sept. 25). The sector is expected to go to court this week, with a direct action of unconstitutionality before the Supreme Court among the options under consideration.
Betting operators have yet to decide which legal instrument they will use. Another possibility is a collective writ of mandamus, a draft of which began circulating on Saturday, a person familiar with the discussions said. More than one industry association could join the case to give it greater weight, said a lawyer who advises companies in the sector.
