US $5 000  A DAY THE PRICE FOR CONTEMPT
 
Betonsports accruing a $5 000 a day fine for failing to appear in US court
 
The price for being found in contempt of a US District Court was set at $5 000 a day this week following a judge's finding that the UK company BetonSports was in contempt for not appearing at an arraignment hearing (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports)
 
U.S. District Judge Carol E. Jackson said that legal counsel from BetonSports, who acted on the instructions of his clients in not appearing was "without just cause or excuse, disobeyed and deliberately ignored."
 
The company's lawyer Jeffery Demerath said the company would not take it lightly.
 
"It's a very serious matter and I will be conferring with the client shortly," he said.
