The Regional Court of Munich will decide on Thursday 23 June, in the afternoon, whether or not to lift an injunction barring FIBA Europe and FIBA from sanctioning, or threatening to sanction, national federations, national leagues and clubs in Europe.
On Tuesday 21 June a multi-member chamber in the case heard all legal arguments by FIBA Europe, who had the opportunity to present its position before the court for the first time. The preliminary injunction was issued by a single judge upon the request of Euroleague Commercial Assets (ECA) and 13 other applicants on 2 June.
The application for the injunction was clearly filed to coincide with the registration period for the Eurocup competition. FIBA Europe then filed an objection against the preliminary injunction on 6 June, on the grounds that it did not contain all relevant facts which would most probably have excluded such injunction if they had been presented to the court in the first place.
