According to Odaily, on June 18, London's Central County Court heard the Hussain v Fix case, where the plaintiff claimed both parties agreed to reimburse business expenses in Bitcoin and sought repayment of 7.806501396 BTC. With the defendant absent, the court focused on whether it has authority to directly order debt repayment in Bitcoin form. The judge indicated uncertainty about the court's power to issue a Bitcoin-denominated judgment and leaned toward calculating compensation in sterling at the time of hearing. The case marks the UK court's first substantive review of whether direct BTC debt repayment is legally enforceable.
