Gambling cheque defence might be valid

Aspinall’s Club Ltd v Al-Zayat

Court of Appeal

“A gambling debt which was recoverable when it was incurred, could later become irrecoverable if the gaming club had extended credit to a member contrary to law; that unlawful provision of credit rendered the member’s liabilities on both a dishonoured cheque and the underlying loan illegal and unenforceable.”
