The Scheme Court Hearing date set to finalize the deal has been pushed back a day to March 31 as a result.
Caesars announced earlier this month that it was set to acquire William Hill in a deal worth £2.9bn (€3.39bn/$4.03bn), with the process to be concluded by 1 April – subject to regulatory approval.
