Following a request from two gambling companies, the Latvian Constitutional Court ruled the Riga municipality's gambling ban unconstitutional on April 4. The decision was based on Riga officials' failure to justify the ban's imposition on specific areas, conflicting with constitutional property rights and commercial freedoms. The Court mandated the municipality to assess its territories and propose reasonable restrictions, highlighting the importance of proper legal procedures in land use decisions.
