197: Negligence in football: A claim of two halves

Football fans everywhere will be familiar with reckless tackles, whether from their own Sunday league experience or as followers of the professional game. But when will a tackle amount to negligence and be actionable in a civil court, such that an injured player can sue their opponent? In this episode of Law Pod UK, 1COR members Jo Moore and Nicholas Jones join Lucy McCann to discuss how the law of personal injury applies to football. Law Pod UK is published by 1 Crown Office Row.
