On October 2, 2024, the General Court (a constituent court of the Court of Justice of the European Union) delivered three rulings (Cases T-797/22, T-798/22, and T-828/22), affirming the 2022 prohibition on legal services to the Russian Government and entities as necessary and proportionate. The Court ruled that these measures do not breach the right to a fair trial under Article 47 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

The sanctions, aimed at pressuring Russia to end its aggression against Ukraine, were upheld as part of the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy. The regulations prohibit Russian entities from receiving legal services from EU-authorised lawyers, with specific exemptions requiring approval.

Same NPC, Different Rules: How A Player’s Age Changes Their Responsibilities Under The AI Act

The EU AI Act's Article 50 introduces age-dependent disclosure requirements for AI-powered NPCs in video games, creating a new compliance framework where the same generative character may require explicit labeling in one context but not another. This provision intersects with emerging consumer protection regulations and child safety standards, fundamentally changing how gaming studios must assess their AI implementations based on actual player demographics rather than abstract user models.
