At a hearing on Wednesday, July 27, the Commissioners of Alderney Gambling Control Commission, acting as a tribunal, decided that the application for an adjournment of the hearing into the future of the licences issued to Full Tilt Poker be conducted in camera.
Following the hearing of this application, the Commissioners decided to adjourn the substantive hearing of the allegations against FTP. As part of their ruling the Commissioners emphasised that the substantive hearing into the future of these licences still needs to take place.
As a result of the arguments on behalf of FTP during the pre-hearing application, the Commissioners decided to adjourn the hearing as they felt it was in the best interests of FTP’s customers. A key consideration in their decision was to allow FTP licensees ‘to further pursue advanced commercial negotiations which could lead to a more beneficial outcome for player interests.’
The Commissioners adjourned the substantive hearing to commence as soon as possible and in any event not later than September 15. Further details regarding the exact date and venue of the substantive hearing will be announced as soon as practical.
