The state will not have to pay compensation for imposing a ban on private health insurers to generate profits. The Bratislava I District Court dismissed a lawsuit submitted by the Penta financial group on July 19.

Penta needs to read the verdict, the ministry is satisfied
Penta was asking for €82 million plus another €140 million in interests for a measure that was introduced by the first Robert Fico government (2006-2010). It originally demanded €750 million in compensation and later reduced its claim to €480 million, Sme wrote.
Dispute between Penta and the state continues
“We have to read today’s decision carefully,” said Martin Danko of Penta, as quoted by Sme.
