The
Macau Intermediate Court has removed an interim injunction that had suspended the
Las Vegas Sands Corp’s entitlement to operate a ferry service between Hong Kong and
Macau.
The CotaiJet service had been operating for just over a week and was offering services between Hong Kong’s
Macau Ferry Terminal at Shun Tak Centre and Macau’s newly opened Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal when it was suspended in mid-December.
The plaintiff in the case had sued the
Macau SAR Government seeking a review of the government’s decision to grant LVS the right to
operate a ferry service. That legal action suspended the effect of government’s decision, which had the consequence of suspending LVS’s
ferry service until further determination of the merits of the claim.
“As we expected, the court acted in an expeditious and prudent manner to consider the merits of the claim, and decided that the injunction
should be removed. We are already in the process of returning CotaiJet service to operation,” said Stephen Weaver, president of Asia, Las
Vegas Sands Corp.
