High Court Rules in Favour of Pivovarna Lasko

Ljubljana, 25 February - The High Court has annulled the temporary ruling by the Ljubljana District Court in December that interdicted the leading Slovene brewer Pivovarna Lasko to freely use the 12.15-percent stake in another Slovene brewer, Pivovarna Union, acquired from the state-owned Slovene Reimbursement Company (SOD). The High Court has also revoked the District Court's decision to temporarily ban Pivovarna Lasko from further purchasing Union shares.
