Senior Supreme Court Justice Jon Isaacs has granted an injunction that will keep web shops from shutting down.
Attorneys Wayne Munroe and Alfred Sears were before the judge this morning representing a group of web shop bosses.
Last night, Prime Minister Perry Christie ordered an end to all web shop gaming in The Bahamas after voters on Monday overwhelmingly voted against the regulation and taxation of web shops, and the establishment of a national lottery.
As many as 3,000 people reportedly work in the industry. Some web shops were closed this morning while the matter was before the courts but many were open.
Munroe told The Nassau Guardian that the injunction “holds the status quo with regard the applicants before Justice Isaacs until the matter comes before the judge who will hear it”.
