Judgment ⚖ - Western Cape High Court - application for leave to appeal – test for leave to appeal – firstly, reasonable prospects of success – secondly, where the court comes to the conclusion that there is some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard. “…The conclusion is that the appeal does not bear prospects of success is significantly strengthened when one considers that the determination of a just and equitable remedy is a discretion in the true sense and an appellate court may not interfere unless it is clear that the choice the court has preferred is at odds with the law.” #CourtJudgment #LeaveToAppeal #LegalUpdate #Law #AnnekeWhelanAttorneys #LitigationAttorneys #CommercialLitigation

I’ll be presenting at the Jersey Productivity Conference in a few weeks and I have a great process map to share which gives an insight into public sector waste and how it affects the social sector. The first step to change is realising what the process is and how much the waste costs. There is so much we can do if we have the data and the motivation to improve.

At FC United of Manchester, we understand that while we fight for fairness in football and the rights of supporters, getting it right on the pitch is equally important. Adam Le Fondre’s signing demonstrates our commitment to building a competitive team while staying true to our values. Community football clubs like ours play a vital role in uniting people and fostering a sense of belonging. These clubs bring together individuals from all walks of life, promoting social inclusion and cohesion. Sport has the power to bridge divides, create friendships, and provide a shared sense of purpose and joy. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the community that forms around it. Research shows that community sports clubs significantly contribute to the social and economic well-being of their areas. They act as hubs of activity, engage residents, and foster volunteerism. The sense of hope and optimism that football provides can be transformative, especially in challenging times. Community clubs support mental and physical health, reduce social isolation, and offer opportunities for personal and social development. We are thrilled to announce the signing of Adam Le Fondre, known for his prolific goal-scoring record and impressive career. Last season, he showcased his talent in the Scottish Premier League with Hibernian. He has also made notable contributions with Sydney FC in the A-League, Bolton Wanderers in the English Football League, and Reading in the Premier League. Adam Le Fondre’s decision to join us reinforces the positive social impact we aim to achieve through football. As Adam himself said, “I'm absolutely delighted to join a club that stands for so much more than just football. FC United’s commitment to its community and its fans is something special, and I’m eager to contribute to both the club’s success on the pitch and its mission off it.” As we embark on this exciting new chapter, we invite businesses and organisations to explore opportunities for collaboration with FC United of Manchester. Partnering with us means amplifying our efforts to create a positive social impact. Together, we can extend the reach of our community-focused initiatives, fostering inclusion, promoting mental and physical health, providing educational and skills opportunities, and building a brighter future. If you’re interested in discovering how a partnership with FC United can benefit both our community and your organisation, please DM me or email me at nick.boom@fc-utd.uk. Join us in making a lasting difference through the power of football.
