King's Resort vs Facebook: Czech Court Has Jurisdiction Over Lawsuit

In April, PokerNews reported that King's Resort owner Leon Tsoukernik was suing Facebook for $24,000,000. He was seeking eight figures in damages after fake mobile adverts were illegally using the King's brand.

Now, in a statement on the King's Resort website they have announced the latest developments in the case.

A Question of Jurisdiction

The statement says that due to the location of Facebook's headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, most lawsuits against the company are handled in that country.

However, a court in Prague has now ruled that Czech courts have jurisdiction in this case, something that King's say is a "big advantage" for them.
