Desmond asks high court for 'generosity' in £1.3bn lottery licence claim
The Guardian
|October 10, 2025
The billionaire media mogul Richard Desmond has urged a court to "err on the side of generosity" in assessing a £1.3bn damages claim against the Gambling Commission that would probably have to be funded by taxpayers if he wins.
Companies owned by the former proprietor of the Daily Express, Asian Babes and Readers' Wives are suing the gambling regulator in a bitter dispute over the National Lottery that opened at the high court yesterday.
Lawyers for Desmond's Northern & Shell investment company and his lottery bid vehicle, the New Lottery Company, argue that the commission made "manifest errors" in the competition process for Britain's largest public sector contract.
Allwyn, a new vehicle ultimately owned by the Czech billionaire Karel Komárek, won the 10-year licence in 2022 and has run the draw since 2024.
