The New Hampshire Lottery Commission is asking a judge to clarify his recent decision regarding the revocation of Andy Sanborn’s casino license, raising questions about the authority behind the ruling and its future implications.
Story continues below
In a Sept 22 order, Judge Gregory Albert denied a request from Sanborn’s attorneys to extend the deadline for selling his Concord Casino on South Main Street, stating he “lacks the authority to grant the relief.”
But he was sympathetic to Sanborn’s plight and didn’t shut the door completely. Albert gave both parties 15 business days to request a rehearing and if Sanborn’s attorneys pursued that option, the case could face an additional delay of 30 days, potentially escalating to the New Hampshire Supreme Court.
