There are ways of enforcing UK court judgements in Australia but I did indicate that the differing locations of the directors and company were the crux of the problem, so I think we are actually in...

The difficulty was always that Canbet was a UK company with no assets, managed by Australians. I have not changed my view that action needed to be taken in the UK aimed at demonstrating negligent...

A winding up order can be sought by anyone owed more than £750 by a company. The court fees for hearing this petition are £280 plus £1250 deposit against the costs of winding up, plus some other...

It was my view expressed way up in this thread that the UK Canbet companies were not placed into liquidation as that would then lead to an Insolvency Service investigation into the conduct of the...

6 years in general in the UK to initiate action in debt cases. No limit on enforcement.

Well in this case keeping the companies in existence prevents the Insolvency Service taking a look into them.

Yes they have never been wound up.

Making things a bit more obscure - it is their Companies House registration number. The new registered address is a storage locker opposite Twickenham Stadium.

It seems the line of initiation of a criminal case in Australia may be over from what has been said above, unless I am reading things incorrectly.

As has been said many times, civil proceedings...

It was Canbet Sports Bookmakers UK Ltd that people were doing business with, not IGAS, nor individuals directly, and this company was registered in England, not Australia. Limited companies are a...

I've said this before - someone needs to petition for the Canbet companies in the UK wound up so the Insolvency Service comes into play. I can't do it as you need to be a debtor of at least £750 to...

Creditors can petition the court for a company to be wound-up ie liquidated to realise its assets. If granted there is then also an investigation into the conduct of the company and its directors....

Canbet etc Ltd would get investigated by the UK if it were wound up compulsory by the courts - this is a statutory requirement on the official receiver.

Until the 2005 Act, the Gaming Board, predecessor to the Gambling Commission used to be funded by direct grant by the Home Office. Money from gaming licences were paid by operators to the Home...

He is a rising star - so either he'll want something to make a mark with, or will want to be off somewhere else. One of the two, take your pick.

Replaced by Sajid Javid, who was a banker with Chase Manhattan and Deutsche before going into politics, and his previous job was Financial Secretary to the Treasury. So he ought to know about money...

Maria Miller has gone.

That's the argument for someone owed sufficient enough money to qualify to be able to issue a winding-up petition to go ahead and do it. Wipes out any prospect of money from a sale, but who thinks...

This one has the Delta stuff on it:

The 'new' info here is the quality of information provided by the auditors to the GC, which they subsequently relayed on their website to indicate solvency. It is clear now that the one referred to...

There is no prioritisation within individual classes of creditors, providing a claim is made in time. Some get paid off first, and near the top of the list are the liquidator fees, followed by...

The online version of Private Eye: http://www.private-eye.co.uk/sections.php?section_link=in_the_back&issue=1361

The 'upgrade' message page was an old one and used to come up whenever the proper site was down, so it probably made an automated appearance as the site was dismantled.

It can be refunded if it turns out to be unable to pay out, but that would take some time. There is another cost which I forgot earlier - you are required to place and pay for the notice in the...

If Canbet Sports Bookmakers Ltd was wound-up then there would be an investigation by the Official Receiver into the directors' conduct as to any wrongful or fraudulent trading. However, it is...

One difference from the statement is that Bodugi didn't from this enter a dialogue with the GC, unlike Canbet which supplied them with a load of info (irrespective of the quality of this).

There won't be many who can bet with a bookie on a credit rather than a deposit basis. Although again this is quite common with spread betting.

It was the confusion that also led in part to gambling debts becoming enforceable by law once more, as it wasn't possible to clearly differentiate between gambling and speculation any more in all...

... even when it is spread betting on sports.

There is one form of betting licensed in the UK where client fund separation is commonplace and that is spread betting. Mind you that is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority rather than the...

You might have already done this, but as well as going through the 'Executive' part of the GC, there are all the members of the Board of Commissioners to get in touch with. This is largely a...

£132.61 in my case. Was 'fortunate' to get most of my money out in the last week they were processing any kind of payment but had some bets that still needed to settle.

Its credit rating has taken a dive but that isn't surprising considering the CCJs it has against it in the last few weeks.

You might do better to get your judgement enforced in Australia - there is a specific UK-Australia treaty and law in each country to do this. From people who have visited the listed office in London...

The UK Gambling Commission does not presently require segregation of funds for a licence merely that it must be stated whether funds are segregated or not effectively considering it is up to the...

Gambling Commission Statement:

How are you responding to complaints about Canbet?
