Civil claims alleging misuse of private information against the Gambling Commission have been dismissed by the Royal Courts of Justice.
The Gambling Commission has successfully defended against civil claims brought by Lee Feldman and Kenneth Alexander at the Royal Courts of Justice.
Mrs Justice Eady dismissed all claims on 19 January 2026, ordering the claimants to pay the Commission's costs. The pair had alleged the regulator misused their private information and breached their confidence.
This dismissal reinforces regulatory authority boundaries and establishes precedent for similar challenges against the Commission's investigative processes. Operators should note the court's validation of the regulator's information-handling procedures, particularly regarding confidential data management during enforcement actions.
The ruling comes amid broader regulatory enforcement trends, as the UK Gambling Commission has increased enforcement funding to strengthen oversight across all gambling sectors.
