Is a new casino opening in the ‘Gare’ district?

At the central station, in the Joseph Junck street, an establishment is currently being implemented which appears to be a casino or a gambling venue. These establishments are not simply allowed to open their doors in public space but need an authorisation from the Ministry of Justice. Is there actually a new casino opening its doors at the station? Our MP Corinne Cahen is inquiring with the relevant ministry.

« À Luxembourg-Gare, plus précisément dans la rue Joseph Junck, il semble qu’un établissement de jeux de hasard ou une sorte de casino soit en train de s’établir. La loi du 20 avril 1977 relative à l´exploitation des jeux de hasard et des paris relatifs aux épreuves sportives détermine qu’il est interdit sur la voie publique « tout appareil dont le fonctionnement repose sur l´adresse ou le hasard et qui sont destinés à procurer un gain ou une consommation moyennant enjeu ». En effet, et par dérogation aux limitations déterminées par la loi, l’installation de casinos ou de locaux similaires est sujette à des conditions et mesures d’exécution définies, dont notamment l’obtention d’une autorisation de la part du Ministère de la Justice.

Dans ce contexte, j’aimerais poser les questions suivantes à Madame la Ministre de la Justice et à Monsieur le Ministre des Finances :

  • Madame et Monsieur les Ministres, pouvez-vous confirmer l’établissement d’un casino ou d’un local de type similaire à l’endroit précité au quartier de la gare ?
  • Dans l’affirmative, Madame et Monsieur les Ministres, pouvez-vous confirmer que cet établissement dispose à ce stade d’une autorisation d’exploitation à cette fin ?
  • Dans la négative, quelles en seraient les conséquences ?
  • Est-ce que d’autres établissements similaires sont actuellement prévus ouvrir leurs portes au Luxembourg ? »

More legal certainty before the labour court?

If a staff representative has been suspended due to serious misconduct, an employer can request that the employment relationship be terminated in court, e.g. via a counterclaim. However, DP MPs Corinne Cahen and Carole Hartmann were informed that the President of the Labour Court repeatedly rejects these applications. This leads to problems in the enforcement of labour law and to legal and financial difficulties for the employer. The DP MPs therefore wanted to know from the Minister of Labour how he interprets the relevant paragraph in the Labour Code, whether the rejection of the counterclaim by the President of the Labour Court is in accordance with the law and whether more legal certainty should be provided.
