A court hearing on a warrant of prohibitory injunction against the Police Commissioner and the Lotteries and Gaming Authority to halt the police clampdown of gaming arcades and an application to revoke it has been postponed to August 24.
Eight gaming companies, namely Allied Games Ltd, Best Play Ltd, Gaming Operations Ltd, Media Gaming Malta EU Ltd, Laak Ltd, Vanguard Gaming Ltd and Zammit Videomatic Ltd and Silver Play Ltd, had requested the warrant of prohibitory injunction last Thursday and this was temporarily upheld.
The Attorney General yesterday filed an application for it to be revoked.
Since the lawyers representing seven of the eight companies were not notified that the hearing was this morning and did not turn up in court, proceedings were postponed.
