Wedding Competition - Legal Question

Posts: 32 Forumite
Hi All,
A relative of mine entered a competition to win a £5,000 wedding reception at a wedding fayre a while ago. She has since subsequently booked this venue for her wedding.
There was another wedding fayre at the venue recently which my relative couldn't attend, where the draw was made for the £5k prize.
My relative's name was called out as the winner (as advised by an acquaintance at the fayre) but they then re-drew another winner because my relative wasn't there. The terms and conditions of the draw did not state that you had to be present at the draw just provide contact details which were all provided.
As per the T&C's my relative should receive the prize - I would appreciate any advice if the venue does not honour the prize.

That is true she should get it but it will be hard to prove that was the case sadlyReplies to posts are always welcome, if they are done in the correct manner. If I have made a mistake in the post, I am human, tell me nicely and it will be corrected. If your reply cannot be nice, has an underlying issue, or you believe that you are God, please post in another forum. Thank you0

I hope she has a copy of the original terms when she entered-if yes she may be able to prove her point-contact the organisers.0
