Amazing to meet Michael Beloff KC who l fondly remember quoting during my sports law masters way back in 2019. Described and accurately depicted as the 'Universal Man of Sports Law' eloquently by @nickdemarco_ of @BlackstoneChbrs#london#blackstonechambers#sportslaw
UK Athletics has pleaded guilty to corporate manslaughter following the death of Abdullah Hayayei, an Emirati Paralympian who was fatally hit on the head by a metal pole during preparation for the London World Paralympic Athletics Championships in 2017 > https://t.co/Er3GXil2tv
Oct 18 &19 sees the return of the annual conference for mediators on the island of Ireland – bigger than last year, full of practical lessons and learning points, and relevant to all mediators, regardless of your specialist sector or particular perspective https://t.co/CBu5T9SzAj
At the same time as publishing the important Everton points deduction decision the PL also published a short decision following a hearing that took place back in early May in which I acted for 5 other clubs that has until now remained confidential: https://t.co/DqTSFSYjYd
As usual with arbitration I can’t comment on the proceedings but the short decision should be of interest to many as it is to my knowledge the first case to consider the PL rule allowing for clubs to claim compensation in disciplinary proceedings, the purpose of which was acknowledged to be to avoid the multiplicity of different proceedings (para 6)
Readers can note 3 things from the now public judgment:
1) under the rules other clubs may in principle have a claim for compensation and such claims will be dependent on the outcome of the PL complaint amongst other things - see para 11;
2) despite PL rule W.27 providing the right to a club to apply to be awarded compensation in disciplinary proceedings, the rights to intervene were viewed as very limited (e.g paras 12-13); and
3) the commission was asked to determine the complaint before June this year but found it was impossible to do so (paras 16-17).

The Law Society is deeply saddened to learn of Council member Richard Grogan's passing.
Richard was a tireless advocate, both in proceedings and in the public arena. We will miss his energy, humour, and deep commitment to the profession.
