Playing by the rules

The low down Sport is an entertainment but also a lens through which we can observe many of society’s less edifying characteristics – racism, sexism, bullying, homophobia, exploitation. Sports bodies have a huge responsibility to protect young players, ensure that what we watch is uncorrupted and check that financial dealings are above board. They must also safeguard the interests of their most invested stakeholders – the fans – and guarantee that these interests are not subverted by corporate opportunism. It almost goes without saying that lawyers are critical to that mission.  ‘Sporting bodies such as football or rugby clubs are, in corporate terms, usually small entities. But they have an outsize public impact,’ says Chris Scott, senior partner and founder at Slateford, which specialises in reputation, crisis management and privacy. ‘They are also considered to be community assets with an emotional contract with their stakeholders, unlike many other businesses.’

Cartmell Shepherd columnist: Abolish sex abuse case time limits

CHILDREN being subjected to sexual abuse is too horrific for many of us to contemplate. Yet, as has been highlighted in the media recently, it can be taking place in schools, religious, sporting or other institutions, as well as within families. Understandably the trauma means it can take many survivors a number of years to come forward. Yet, incredibly, we still have a law in England and Wales that children who have been subjected to sexual abuse only have until three years after their 18th birthday to make a compensation claim relating to that abuse. The Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL), of which I am a member, is calling for that time limit to be abolished, just like it was in Scotland in 2017.
