Wakefield Trinity • Overall legal "Duty of Care"

Posting current litigation & court actions due, one needs to understand the law term of " duty of care"
Legal duty which are onerous to the provider in Law of "Tort" Law of Tort is a very onerous legal term.
No one or body has ever beaten this legal duty.
However one has to prove lack of duty of care & in extreme cases if negligence is proven the full weight of the law will side against you & your actions not only in fines but corporate actions against individuals & bodies or companies & yes government bodies.
I am like all of you not enthused by the RFL, however, they simply have NO CHOICE in dealing with this situation of damage to the individual via head contact on a single basis or cumulative. Even in Australia this is recognised & in the RFU !
So those who think this will go away by popular pressure of supporters are on the wrong side of factuality, as sadly so are those players willing to strike !
I personally have loved the game in all its facits for some 60yrs, but times are changing the sport liked or lumped, old players playing old physicality of taking players out by intended damage & careless damage are the most vulnerable in being/holding the batten of constant bans & fines.
People will not like these points of view but its coming & changing ( Liked or Not ).
