The controversial takeover of Tatts Group by Tabcorp in Australia, effectively merging the two major sports betting companies, will be the subject of a Federal Court judgment to be delivered tomorrow (September 20).

A judicial review has been called for by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and operator CrownBet over the deal that was approved by the Australian Competition Tribunal.

The Tatts Group merger is a primary item on the agenda for Tabcorp’s AGM, which is scheduled to be held in Melbourne on October 27.
