APPEAL AGAINST UIGEA - JUDGE'S PANEL SET (Update)
26 June 2009
iMEGA's challenge will be heard July 7th
The Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association
(iMEGA) has announced that its challenge to the Unlawful
Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in the form of an
appeal action against the US Department of Justice has
been set down for July 7th 2009 at 10.00 am, when
arguments from the parties will be heard at the US
courthouse in Philadelphia.
The US 3rd Circuit
Court of Appeals has named the three-judge panel
selected to hear oral arguments as Judge Dolores Korman
Sloviter, a Carter appointee; Judge Thomas L. Ambro, a
Clinton appointee; and Judge Kent A. Jordan, a George W.
Bush appointee.
iMEGA will be represented by Eric
M. Bernstein, who first argued to have UIGEA overturned
in US District Court, and Stephen A. Saltzburg,
professor at the George Washington University school of
law and former deputy attorney-general of the United
States.
The defendants - the US Department of
Justice, the Federal Trade Commission and the Federal
Reserve - will be represented by Nicholas J. Bagley and
Jacqueline E. Coleman of the US DoJ's civil division in
Washington, DC.
"This law will finally have to
stand on it's own two feet in court, free from politics
and all other outside influences," said iMEGA chairman
Joe Brennan Jr. "We feel very confident that when the
judges take a look at the law, they will see just how
defective it is, and they will overturn it."
