Court win in Estonia brings the total to 4

[doodlebug]

Hi, all,

Sorry not to have updated sooner, but yesterday was a bit of a mad one! The Estonian court yesterday ruled in favour of Elites (who brought the case), confirming that electronic cigarettes cannot be classified as medicinal products, and the government was ordered to pay costs.

ECITA provided research support to the legal team, who were absolutely superb, and the tireless efforts of the whole team should be commended.

Another win for vaping!

Cheers,

Katherine

Great news!
It's just a shame we have to use legal action to get governments to see common sense.

Every win makes it harder for them to proceed, Kibbster. I am hopeful that this will add weight to our NOT needing to pursue too many future legal actions, but we'll see....

Nice work by all involved.

The light at the end of the tunnel is getter a little brighter I reckon.

Fingers crossed it's not a train!

Don't get me wrong I'm glad to see governments being reminded about the rule of law applies to all and I'm so glad you are helping us in this fight that we intend to win.

I meant if common sense prevailed within governments no-one would be put in the position where we had to go to court to defend what shouldn't be an issue anyway.

As they (as in governments) are forcing vapers hands... nail em to the wall! (legally speaking of course)

Well done Estonia for seeing sense.

The more countries that jump on board the better the chance we have of making the EU idiots see some common sense.

Good news, well done to all involved

Great news


Every little battle won is a big step into muddying the water up for the EU goblins who are going to have a lot of trouble finding a one rule fits all(which it has to be) solution to this
