International Game Technology PLC & Ors v Gambling Commission (No. 2 - Consequentials)

Philip Moser KC, Ewan West, and Jen Coyne (instructed by Osborne Clarke LLP) for the Claimants Sarah Hannaford KC, Rose Grogan and Barney McCay (instructed by Hogan Lovells International LLP) for the Defendant Charles Hollander KC and Joseph Barrett (instructed by Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan UK LLP) for the Interested Parties Hearing date: 30 August 2023 ____________________

i) the Commission's claim for an order against IGT for their costs of the claims (including the Preliminary Issue) and for a payment on account of those costs;

ii) Allwyn's claim for an order against IGT for their costs of the claims (including the Preliminary Issue); and

At the hearing, I briefly stated my decision on each of those issues, and said I would provide my detailed reasons in a short written judgment.

Note 1 At the hearing on 27 July 2022, Mr Moser sought IGT�s costs against Allwyn as a result of Allwyn�s unsuccessful application to amend the CCRO. O�Farrell J ordered that Allwyn must pay their own costs of that application and made them potentially liable, depending on the outcome of the claims, to pay IGT�s costs of that application. As Mr Moser put it, �when we win, we shall recover the costs of today�. [Back]
