Summary

  • The Gibraltar Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling that Play Network did nothing wrong in its handling of $PLAY tokens, and that Ready Makers Inc’s claims to ownership of the firm had no basis.
  • Ready Makers had sued to stop the issuance of tokens and related assets by Ready Gibraltar, a sister firm of Ready Makers, but the Supreme Court of Gibraltar called the claim “oppressive” and with “no real prospect of success” in April.
  • It also criticised the claimants for misleading the court, and ordered them to pay 300,000.
  • The judge said the original February freeze order was a “miscarriage of justice” that had damaged the firm, and that the claimants had withheld documents that showed Ready US, the US counterpart to Ready Gibraltar, had been dissolved in 2024.
  • The judgement also suggested the injunctions were intended to kill the company “golden goose”.
  • The Supreme Court will next week hear a case to determine whether the claimants should pay 30 million in damages.
