Aaron and Stephen should become registrars: they would then find that their positions have unfortunate consequences in law. As I understand them these positions cast doubt on Paul Vestey’s Cobra ownership, Joachim von Beust’s Cobra ownership and Alex Boswell’s Cobra ownership, to name just a few who spring to mind.
A short while later Aaron and Stephen would receive proceedings (probably including, but not limited to, malicious defamation), as would whatever Club had appointed them as registrars. There would be no defence to these proceedings because Aaron and Stephen would be acting unlawfully by, inter alia, redefining ‘ownership’ on a basis that has no foundation in any leading jurisdiction. In consequences Aaron and Stephen would be £100,000 or more out of pocket.
A knowledge of the law is essential to any registrar in a sensitive position, including a legal understanding of ‘qualified privilege’ and the conditions it entails. It would be better for any future poster to this string to research the law before offering further insights.
I will not make any further posting to this string, except in response to quoted legal precedent, being uninterested in uninformed opinion.
