Judicial Protest about the Malta Football Awards
A Judicial Protest was yesterday filed by Events Services organizers of the Westin Malta Football Awards in the First Hall of Civil Court against John Busuttil, Robert Cutajar producers of a local TV football program and Net TV.In the said protest Sandro Micallef and Alan Cutajar directors of Events Services are protesting about the alleged idea of these individuals and Net TV to organize an activity similar to the Malta Football Awards. This event has been organized for the past four years by Sandro Micallef sports journalist and TV presenter on behalf of Events Services. Any activity that can be like, or gives the impression to be on the same line of the original Malta Football Awards definitely goes against Article 32 and 34 of the Commercial Code.
Events Services would like to inform the general public that as they have done for the past years they will once again organize this year's edition which will be the fifth one. This year's edition will be televised on Melita Sports Channel and also on the Information Channel of Melita Cable PLC which will be open for free viewing to all clients even to those who are not Sports Channel subscribers. The Judicial Protest was signed by Dr. David Farrugia Sacco LL.D
