Full Tilt legal team files motion in Clonie Gowen case
- 1-8-2009
As reported by several online poker news sites, Full Tilt Poker legal
team has filed a 12 page motion on Tuesday requesting three District Courts in
Gowen, a former member of the Team Full Tilt, filed a lawsuit in November against FullTilt.com and FullTilt.net,  Tiltware, Inc, the developers of the Full Tilt Poker software, its branch companies Pocket Kings Ltd. and Kolyma Corporation, the “dotcom†as well as all of the “official†members of Team Full Tilt, which includes Chris Ferguson,  Mike Matusow, Howard Lederer, Allen Cunningham,  Andy Bloch,  Phil Ivey, John Juanda, Phil Gordon, Erik Seidel, Ray Bitar, Gus Hansen, Patrik Antonius, Erick Lindgren and Jennifer Harman.
After she was dismissed from Full Tilt in November 11th, Gowen filed a legal case suing the online poker site for $40 million in compensation. Gowen claims that Full Tilt promised to honor her with 1% of the online poker room and its related companies and entities when she was first contacted to join Team Full Tilt in 2004. Gowen alleges that she never received such compensation while other members of Team Full Tilt got their respective payments and that her share was denied by the company after she requested it.
Full Tilt legal teams say that the lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker pros should be dismissed and that any contractual problems between the two parts should be solved by Gowen and Tiltware alone due the fact that there was no fiduciary relationship between her and the members of Team Full Tilt. In addition, the motion states that Gowen never stated if the compensatory agreement was oral, written, or implied-in-fact. The Full Tilt legal team contends that, without a designated form of contract, the case has to be dismissed and re-filed with a more informative pleading.
