  • Can you afford to ignore the risks in your sport?


    The world over, those responsible for organising sporting activities are finding that the consequences of a sporting accident could leave them potentially exposed to legal action.

    In New Zealand, the case of R v Andersen brought issues of sports risk management to the forefront of people's minds. In other countries civil suits for damages arising out of sporting accidents are commonplace.

    Such cases are a timely reminder that we need to take more care organising sport – otherwise it could work out very expensive.
  • Are you aware of your legal responsibilities?
  • Do you have a written risk management plan for your sport or activity?
  • Do you now how to put a risk management plan together and what to do with it once you have one?
  • Do you have adequate insurance to cover those inevitable lapses?
