A Star Entertainment Group manager has told an inquiry he was not aware of a casino obligation to act within the "spirit of the law", as the gambling giant faces down a shareholder class action over alleged regulatory failures.
Star's general manager, finance and commercial, Michael Whytcross was on Tuesday quizzed at a royal commission-style inquiry examining the fitness of The Star Sydney to hold a casino licence.
Mr Whytcross' testimony came as law firm Slater and Gordon on Tuesday filed a shareholder class action against Star, seeking compensation for "misleading or deceptive representations" about its compliance with regulatory obligations.
