The owner of the once-proposed Foxwoods Casino, which entered bankruptcy earlier this week, has asked the bankruptcy judge to allow Cozen O’Connor to represent the entity in recovering the $50 million fee it paid for a casino license that was later revoked.
In an application to authorize Philadelphia Entertainment and Development Partners to hire Cozen O’Connor, PEDP said it believed it had a claim to the $50 million licensing fee given the 2008 license to operate a casino in Philadelphia was revoked in 2012 and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board is expected to receive another $50 million for the same license from whichever entity wins the bid for the license PEDP once held.
