iMEGA UIGEA Appeal to be Heard on July 6th
In breaking news out of the United States, it was revealed that the Third Circuit Court of Appeals will hear lawyers from the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) argue why the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) is unconstitutional.
Last March, Judge Mary L. Cooper granted the organization standing to sue on behalf of the internet gambling industry. However, she disagreed with many of iMEGA’s arguments in the process, prompting the appeal. In a letter from the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, its clerk informed the parties involved that the case has “been tentatively listed on the merits on Monday, July 6, 2009 in Philadelphia [Pennsylvania]. It may become necessary for the panel to move this case to another day within the week of July 6, 2009. Counsel will be notified if such a change occurs.” Further information will be given as to whether oral arguments will be heard, and if so for how long, within one week of the disposition date.
