The Court of Appeal has upheld the award of the fourth UK National Lottery licence to Allwyn, rejecting an attempt by The New Lottery Company (TNLC) and Northern & Shell to overturn an earlier High Court judgment.
The Court of Appeal has dismissed the challenge against the decision to award Allwyn the fourth UK National Lottery licence. This decision comes after The New Lottery Company (TNLC) and Northern & Shell contested the initial judgment, claiming that TNLC should have been awarded the licence instead. The dispute centered around allegations of the regulator making unauthorized changes to the licence terms post the bidding process.
Despite the opposition's claims, the Court of Appeal upheld the original decision, solidifying Allwyn's position as the recipient of the National Lottery licence. This ruling marks a significant milestone in the ongoing legal battle over the award of the licence in the UK.
