Compensation for Concessionaires if Contract Suspended
The Macau Legislative Assembly continued to discuss the proposed amendments to the Gaming Law this week and its Second Standing Committee had its second meeting Tuesday, May 17. Following the meeting, the committee’s chairman Chan Chak Mo revealed details of the discussion at a press conference.

The members of the committee discussed the new provisions proposed by the government related to the right of the Chief Executive to unilaterally terminate a concessionaire’s contract in the public interest and how employee dismissal should be treated in such cases, Chan Chak revealed.

Currently, the Gaming Law provides for the Chief Executive to unilaterally terminate a concessionaire’s contract if the continuation of operation is deemed as a threat to the security of the state and the Macau Special Administrative Region (SAR).
