Cases

Jockey Club v Carphone Warehouse Ltd

Comment

The Jockey Club has power under its Rules to compel licensed individuals (including jockeys, trainers and owners) to produce information which it believes may assist or be relevant to its investigations in connection with horseracing. It does not however have any powers under the Rules to compel non-licensed individuals to provide it with such information, although refusal to co-operate is a ground for excluding a person from premises owned or licensed by the Jockey Club. The use of the Norwich Pharmacal jurisdiction is a significant step forward in the Jockey Club’s ability properly to investigate suspected corrupt betting.
