UK court hears Hussain v Fix case, judge inclined to award compensation in GBP

According to Forbes, the Central County Court in London, UK, heard the Hussain v Fix case on June 18, where the plaintiff demanded the defendant repay 7.806501396 BTC. The judge stated that although UK law recognizes Bitcoin as property, it is uncertain whether the court has the authority to order repayment of debt directly in Bitcoin and tended to prefer compensation in GBP calculated at the price at the time of trial.
