Supremacy of the constitution or of EU Law?

Abstract

A ground breaking decree addressing the nodal point as to which law is supreme, the Constitution of Malta or European Union Law, was delivered on 26 July 2023 by Mr Justice Toni Abela, sitting in the Civil Court, First Hall, in the acts of the garnishee order no. 1070/2023 in the names 'Michael Christian Felsberger et vs TSG Interactive Gaming Europe Ltd'. It is a great pity that this decree has not been published on the courts of justice electronic portal (ecourts,gov.mt) where court judgments are published, simply because it happens to be a decree, not a judgment. It is also a pity that this decree has not been given adequate publicity in the newspapers bearing in mind its landmark constitutional significance.
