Does anyone know the legality of this entire situation? There are a couple of questions that need answering.
1. Did Torun make the payment to the club Peterborough Panthers, or the individual Ged Rathbone?
The next point is about who the fine has been issued to, is it the Peterborough Panthers or Ged Rathbone?
Can the BSPA force Ged to pay? They've said that until he pays the fine, his promoter's licence won't be reinstated. This leads me to believe that Ged doesn't have to legally pay. He only has to pay if he wants to continue in the sport.
He hasn't committed a criminal act and neither has he committed a civil offence. I'm not sure where the BSPA go from here, Ged doesn't have to pay the funds back. They're stumped!
