The legal issues that the court was required to decide included whether the amendments to the Bookmakers Regulations were valid and whether they complied with the Bookmakers Act 1985. The court also had to determine if the prescribed amounts, procedures, and equipment for bookmakers were reasonable and necessary for the regulation of bookmakers' activities.

The court held that the prescribed amounts, procedures, and equipment for bookmakers were reasonable and necessary for the regulation of bookmakers' activities. The court also ruled that the limitation on the information supplied by bookmakers in relation to horse or dog racing was a valid measure to prevent bookmakers from providing excessive information that may lead to gambling-related issues.
