Sport in the Dock: Cross Examining Safety in New Zealand Sport


By Michael Smyth

Do you understand legal liability in sport? What is the effect of the R v Andersen decision? What is the future of New Zealand sport in light of the Court of Appeal's decision in R v Andersen? What is the effect of the new NZ Standards guidelines on risk management in sport and recreation?

To have these and many other questions relating to legal liability in sport answered you need a copy of Sport in the Dock: Cross Examining Safety in New Zealand Sport. The only book comprehensively covering legal liability in sport.

The book covers:
  • How to identify negligent acts in sport
  • What amounts to reasonable behaviour?
  • How does ACC fit into the equation?
  • Is it just sports events organisers who are at risk?
  • What is recklessness?
  • How much risk management planning is necessary?
  • What are the practical implications of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 as it applies to sport?
  • What is the future for New Zealand sport in light of the Andersen decision?

    This E-book costs just $50 for an electronic copy and $60 for a hard copy complete with presentation folder (includes free shipping within New Zealand). An audio version will be released shortly.
