Judicial Protection

Choose ONE of the following questions

Title 1
Gemma is a professional footballer, and a star player for Semilong Athletic F.C. In the course of a match, she becomes frustrated by constant abuse from supporters of the opposing team, and responds by making an obscene gesture towards them, taking her boots off, and throwing them into the crowd. She is sent off, and subsequently charged by the Football Federation (the governing body) with “damaging the reputation of the game”, which is categorised as a “serious” disciplinary offence under the rules of the Federation. The Federation has recently introduced a policy of cleaning up the image of the sport, following a series of unsavoury revelations and headlines.

In accordance with the rules of the Federation, a three-person disciplinary panel is convened to hear Gemma’s case. The panel is chaired by Sabrina, who is a practising barrister. She is also a keen supporter of Kingsthorpe Rovers F.C, who are Semilong Athletic’s long-standing rivals and their closest competitors in this season’s title race.

In the course of the hearing, and before Gemma has finished giving her evidence to the panel, she becomes angry, and says that she “wants nothing more to do with this farce”. Sabrina advises her to “calm down, and don’t make matters any worse. You’re already looking at a lengthy ban”. The panel subsequently finds Gemma guilty of the offence in question, and bans her from playing professional football for six months.

Gemma does not feel that her treatment by the tribunal has been impartial. Advise her.

Title 2
Morse and Lewis are both students at the University of Semilong. They return to their hall of residence late one night, both clearly drunk after spending the evening in a local pub. Cheered on by Lewis, Morse sets off a fire extinguisher in the corridor, causing considerable damage. Lewis is generally rude and abusive to other students when they try to intervene. Frost, the hall warden, notifies the governors of the University, who have overall responsibility for dealing with serious student disciplinary matters, of these incidents.

The governors ask Frost for a full report into the incident. When compiling the report, Frost talks to some (but not all) of the students who were present, but does not consult either Morse or Lewis. His report recommends that the governors take “firm action” against both Morse and Lewis. The governors immediately decide to expel Morse from the University, subsequently explaining to him by letter that this is because they regard his actions as “extremely serious” and “inexcusable”.

The governors regard Lewis’s actions as less serious, and invite him to submit written comments to them before they reach a decision in his case. Lewis asks to appear before the governors in person, but this request is declined, the governors explaining that they “do not have the time to see every student personally”. Lewis then writes to the governors apologising for his conduct and explaining that he was “too drunk to think straight”. The governors consider this letter before deciding that he should also be expelled from the University.

Morse and Lewis both feel that their right to be heard has not been observed by the University. Advise them.

Fastco believes that the lawsuit is simply a pretext for Acme to acquire the technology for Fastco’s more successful product. Should the court permit Acme’s request?

/in /by

Cyber Law

Fastco is a company that develops, manufactures, and sells fasteners (screws, bolts, and nuts) to the automotive industry. It manufactures a particular nut-and-bolt combination, identified as NB1, that is considered by many in the industry to be the best for particular applications. The technology behind NB1 is a trade secret, and Fastco has not patented it.

Acme Screw Products, Inc. is Fastco’s competitor and makes a similar product to NB1. Acme’s product is patented. Acme filed suit against Fastco, claiming that Fastco has infringed on its patent. Fastco denies that allegation. Acme has filed a request during the discovery phase of the lawsuit that Fastco produce all of its plans, diagrams, material formulations, test results, and so on that it has for the NB1 fastener.

Fastco believes that the lawsuit is simply a pretext for Acme to acquire the technology for Fastco’s more successful product. Should the court permit Acme’s request? Put another way, to what extent should the court take into consideration the harm that would be caused to Fastco by disclosure of its trade secret against Acme’s general right under the rules of civil procedure to obtain all evidence that Fastco has that might be relevant to its claim. Please post your reply and a response to another student’s reply by the due date.
