The NSW Court of Appeal has ruled that the regulator cannot reverse approvals for gaming machine transfers or increases in thresholds.
Australia.- The Liquor & Gaming New South Wales (NSW) has today (February 29) reported that the New South Wales Court of Appeal made a decision on September 7, 2023, in the case of NSW Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority (ILGA) v 4 Boys.
The court ruled that under the Gaming Machines Act 2001, ILGA does not have the power to revoke or reverse an earlier approval of a gaming machine entitlement (GME) transfer under section 19(2)(a) of the Act or a gaming machine threshold increase under section 34(4) of the Act.
4 Boys had appealed after the ILGA won a June 2023 hearing on the matter. The appeal court’s decision means that once ILGA approves a GME transfer or a GMT increase, they cannot re-exercise their powers to undo, revoke, or reverse that approval. The regulator noted that applicants will now be unable to withdraw a GME transfer application or GMT increase application once approved by ILGA.
