Client Cases

(2021-2022)

Four Winds Foundation Ltd v New Zealand Community Trust

GCA Lawyers successfully represented a Class 4 gaming society in a declaratory judgment regarding venue licence transfers under the Gambling Act 2003. The High Court ruled that corporate societies cannot withhold venue licence surrenders to impose a four-week stand-down period, reinforcing industry practice and ensuring fair competition. This decision clarified the obligations of corporate societies and upheld the rights of venues seeking to transfer gaming licences.
