A senior official, Piia Schults, from the Riigikogu chancellery has announced her intention to contest her dismissal in court, which she attributes to errors in the gambling law and comments made to a journalist. Schults emphasized that she views her case as significant for establishing clarity regarding the legal ambiguities surrounding her dismissal.

In her statements to ERR, Schults expressed her determination to seek justice and stated that she is currently working with a lawyer to formulate her next steps, indicating a preference for taking the matter to court rather than arbitration through the labor dispute commission. The official remarked on the confusion surrounding the gambling law that has contributed to her situation, suggesting broader implications for legal interpretation in Estonia.

The situation has drawn public interest, particularly due to comments made by Antero Habicht, the director of the Riigikogu chancellery, which Schults believes to contain inaccuracies regarding her dismissal. She acknowledged the community support she has received since her dismissal, highlighting the importance of public discourse around governance and legal accountability in Estonia.
