    Waste of time.

    Basic Contract Law. You cannot enforce a contract based on illegality such as gambling.

    It's in Scotland, so Irish law surrounding that might not apply.

    Given the fact that the defendant is putting a defence on the interpretation of "relegated" I'd imagine that is not available???

    Ireland and the UK share the jurisprudence of most contract law which had most of its seminal case law in the 1800s. (with exceptions)

    Of course it could be Scots law, which I understand operates there also but I have no idea how that works.

    Obviously.

    If the blanket unenforceability of wagers applied to this case it wouldn't be where it is.
