Gambling addict sues Ritz casino after losing £2m
Nora Al-Daher, whose husband is the foreign minister of Oman, told the High Court someone should have stopped her.
Ms Al-Daher had already suffered substantial losses at other casinos earlier the same day, in April 2012.
Her court action comes after the Ritz sued her for a debt of £1m, alleging that some of the cheques she handed over that night had not been honoured.
The court was told that Mrs Al-Daher had made it clear when she arrived at the Ritz that she was a gambling addict, had lost money and did not want to play.
Mrs Al-Daher lost £2m within hours and said the casino should have refused to give her extra credit but instead took advantage of her.
She told the court staff stood behind her encouraging her and increased her facility when she reached her credit limit.
The Ritz rejected the accusations, saying it was owed £1m because cheques she gave them had not been not honoured.
The casino's barrister, Clive Freedman QC, told the court that nine months after she lost the money, Mrs Al-Daher had paid half her debt without making a complaint.
Hahaha, stara engleska izreka kaze: "a fool and his money are soon parted" :)
Izgleda je Nora Al-Daher pogresno mislila da je personal Ritz-a takodje i strucan u psiholoskom savetovanju i lecenju bolesti zavisnosti, ali avaj :-)
Pitam se samo ko li placa advokate za ovu idiotariju, pretpostavljam dobri narod Omana :-)
