The Higher Administrative Court (VGH) of Baden-Württemberg held on 6 February 2007 (Az. 6 S 162/07) that an appeal by the Land Baden-Württemberg was to be dismissed. Background: By virtue of the decision the claimant, a betting mediator represented by Hambach & Hambach LLP, at once succeeded in the last instance against a banning order of the regional council Karlsruhe. The Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgericht, VG) of Stuttgart had already ordered suspensive effect on 28 December 2006 (Az. 4 K 4393/06) and had thus granted the mediator protection from execution of the order.
