No delay to new remote gambling regime despite 2nd GBGA JR

Gambling Commission_8The Gambling Commission has just posed and answered the following question on its FAQ blog: “Does the Judicial Review, related to the Finance Act, affect the introduction of the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014 on 1 November?”

Its answer is: “As we understand it, the GBGA’s latest challenge relates to the legality of the betting and gaming duty provisions in Part 3 of the Finance Act 2014. The intended Defendants are HMRC and Her Majesty’s Treasury. It does not affect the introduction of the Gambling (Licensing and Advertising) Act 2014, which will come into force on 1 November 2014.”
