"The judge, Mrs Justice Smith, rejected every part of the claim, stating that the Gambling Commission had conducted a lawful and fair competition. The claimants failed to demonstrate any decisive error that would have altered the outcome."
"Mrs Justice Smith criticized the claimants for pursuing the Process Claim in an apparently unfocused manner, noting that several issues were dropped at different stages, including during closing submissions."
"The extent of this moveable feast was regrettable and inexcusable, given the legal resources available to the Claimants. The changing arguments led to significant time being wasted by the other parties."
