Race, Training and Event Management 

We have updated this publication which is now available as a download on our website or can be obtained by contacting the Legal Team.             

This publication provides advice to race committees and individuals within Clubs and Associations organising racing, cruising or training activities, under power and sail on inland and tidal waters.

The purpose of the advice is to ensure that those organising and managing events understand their potential legal liabilites. 

There have been a number of cases over recent years which indicate that the courts are relcutant to raise the standard of duty of care above that which a reasonable person/parent would provide and the courts are equally reluctant to absolve claimants from blame where they have voluntarily undertaken activities, albeit with inherent risks. 

For my information and to download the publication go to the Health and Safety section within the Club and Association section of the website.
