Ivey v Genting Casinos (UK) Ltd t/a Crockfords [2017] UKSC 67 – S 42 Gambling Act 2005.

1) cheating does not necessarily involve dishonesty and vice versa.
2) second leg of R v Ghosh test for dishonesty holds serious problems.
3) the meaning of “dishonesty” did not differ between civil and criminal proceedings.
4) R v Ghosh does not correctly represent the law.
5) correct test for dishonesty requires i) ascertaining subjectively D’s knowledge or belief as to the facts and ii) considering whether his conduct was honest or dishonest according to the objective standards of ordinary decent people.
- not required that D appreciate what he has done is, by those standards, dishonest.
6) truthful evidence does not render D’s behaviour honest.
