Football Banning Orders
CJH Solicitors incorporating Greenhill
Cooper have specialist expertise in connection with
football banning orders, whether applied for on
conviction for an offence or as a standalone civil case.
Stephen Cobley was heavily involved in the Court of Appeal
case of Gough which has become the leading
authority in relation to the making of football banning
orders. Having dealt with a number of high profile cases
since, CJH can offer truly practical experience in
dealing with this specialist area of the law.
Being charged with even a minor football related offence
can have far reaching consequences. Courts often
mistakenly take the view that if a defendant is guilty a
football banning order should result as surely as night
follows day. Even if there is no criminal prosecution,
the police may make a civil application for a football
banning order against an individual they suspect is
involved in organising or participating in football
related violence or disorder. In either situation, a
football banning order is a serious deprivation of
liberty and the court will always be reminded by CJH
that careful consideration should be given to the real
necessity for such a draconian imposition. To find out more about the legal framework of
