High Court rejects challenge to Gambling Commission’s Allwyn lottery award
The High Court rejected challenges by The New Lottery Company and Northern & Shell to the Gambling Commission’s award of the fourth UK National Lottery licence to Allwyn. The Commission said the ruling found that the contested changes to the licence were not substantial; Northern & Shell said it planned to appeal.
The ruling leaves Allwyn’s licence award intact for now, while Northern & Shell’s planned appeal leaves the dispute open.
