High Court orders Spence to repay more than £840,000 in betting debt
The High Court of Justice ruled that racehorse owner Alan Spence must repay David Solomon more than £840,000 in a dispute over private betting debts, according to reporting on the judgment. The court found Solomon had acted as an unlicensed bookmaker but concluded that Spence knowingly participated in the arrangements and had no basis to avoid repayment.
The ruling found that knowingly participating in the arrangements did not give Spence grounds to avoid repayment.
