Cases

Fahey v Jockey Club

Issue

Mr Fahey appealed mainly on the grounds that there was insufficient material on the basis of which a reasonable Panel could have made the decision in question. Mr Fahey also argued that the way the Jockey Club's case had been put at the Disciplinary hearing was prejudicial and unfair and did not comply with the principles of natural justice and of a fair hearing as enshrined in Article 6 of the ECHR. In particular, he submitted that he had not been provided with sufficient information regarding the Jockey Club's case against him, prior to the hearing and that during the hearing, no positive case was put to him by the Jockey Club as to what his instructions to the jockey, Mr Dale Swift, had been.
