"The claimants have failed to make out any case of manifest error on the part of the commission in their process claim. Neither Camelot nor Allwyn ought to have been disqualified from the tender."
"The competition that was conducted for the award of the fourth licence reached a lawful outcome."
"They won. We lost. We appeal. It's not over."
"A finding against the Gambling Commission could have triggered compensation exposure running well beyond the £1.3bn sought by Desmond's camp."
Richard Desmond's campaign to overturn the awarding of the fourth National Lottery licence has ended in defeat, with the High Court rejecting a £1.3bn damages claim against the Gambling Commission. The court found no evidence of error in the commission's process when awarding the contract to Allwyn, which replaced Camelot. The ruling is significant for the regulated-gambling sector and public procurement, as it avoids potential compensation claims exceeding £1.3bn and maintains the integrity of UK regulated competitions.
