Contract
Puharic v Silverbond Enterprises Ltd [2021] EWHC 351 (QB), [2021] All ER (D) 97 (Feb)
A Croatian VIP gambler’s claim that the defendant casino operator had a contractual obligation, pursuant to an alleged oral agreement, to pay commission accrued under the ‘player program agreement’ was dismissed. The Queen’s Bench Division held that there had been no concluded agreement reached between the parties about bonuses or incentives. Accordingly, the club in question was not obliged to pay the claimant commission which accrued when he had played at the club. The court held that the claimant had been paid his winnings and that he was entitled to no further sum.
