First published in 2001. This book provides a socio-legal analysis
of disasters by setting out two sport and leisure disasters (the
1989 Hillsborough and Marchioness disasters) and considering them
in their broader legal/political/economic and policy contexts. It
bases the analysis on in-depth examinations of the legal responses
to these disasters. The foundations for the case studies are laid
by reviewing critiques of relevant contemporary legal problems.
These include the concepts and contexts of disasters; the law in a
liberal democracy; negligence, mass actions and policy in PTSD
cases; statutory regulation of and safety; the laws of corporate
reckless manslaughter and the contemporary legal problems of
inquests and public inquiries into disasters. The theoretical and
policy chapters are followed by the presentation of the two case
study disasters, drawing on documentary sources and interviews with
academics, policy makers, key legal practitioners and campaigners
for legal reform, involved in these post-disaster legal processes.
The analysis returns to the critical themes of the earlier chapters
and ends with conclusions and recommendations for further research
and legal reform arising out of this area of 'disaster law'.
Students in sport and leisure courses will be required to tackle
legal and ethical issues. Law modules and courses in sport and law
are developing an increasingly socio-legal, if not
multi-disciplinary approach. This book takes account of this,
taking a critical, multi-disciplinary approach to sport, leisure
and the law. However, it will be useful to a broader group of
readers who study, practice or work in the law or legal reform and
apply their work to disasters.
