Camelot will this week launch a High Court challenge over claims Britain’s gambling regulator broke the law in its decision to award Czech billionaire Karel Komarek the lucrative contract to run the National Lottery.
The Telegraph understands that the incumbent National Lottery operator will issue legal proceedings against the Gambling Commission in the coming days. They will include a judicial review as well as a High Court procurement challenge.
At the heart of Camelot’s case is expected to be allegations that the regulator changed the rules after Camelot came out top in a scoring system designed to measure the bids.
