"William Hill denies it can be legally liable for Mr Calvert's losses.

"...The trust's Ron Finlay said it was currently trying to develop such a database of 'self-excluded' gamblers and has asked for voluntary donations from the industry.

"...The High Court will decide at a hearing next week whether William Hill - which strongly denies any wrongdoing - can be held legally liable..."
