Full Tilt hearing to take place in private

The

FullTilt
Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) have announced that Monday’s regulatory hearing into the affairs of Full Tilt Poker is to be held in private.

Full Tilt’s request that the hearing be adjourned was rejected by an AGCC tribunal, but it was decided that proceedings should be held ‘in camera’ despite an earlier invitation for press and public to attend.

The hearing, which relates to the suspension of Full Tilt’s Alderney licence earlier this year, was originally set to take place on 26 July but was adjourned at the request of Full Tilt’s legal team. The AGCC declared the new hearing would be held no later than 15 September, although it later set the new date as 19 September.

AGCC executive director André Wilsenach released the following statement:

“I am pleased that the FTP hearing will continue as scheduled, as was argued on my behalf. However, I am disappointed with the tribunal’s decision that, notwithstanding my arguments to the contrary, the hearing will be held in private. I believe the public has a right to know the reasoning behind the decisions to suspend FTP’s licences and call a hearing, and to hear the evidence that will be put forward on my behalf. It is my understanding that the tribunal conducted a difficult balancing exercise of the interests of the various parties, taking into account the legal arguments for and against further postponing the hearing, and for and against allowing the public to attend the proceedings.”
