We don't even have the same laws in England and Wales as they do in Scotland. Either way, the point is as SteveBrum said, there was likely a gentlemen's agreement between teams and riders. Nicholls broke this by seeking legal advice. Therefore, if the BSPA/SCB want rules and regulations which cannot be challenged legally by any team or rider who disagrees, their new rules have to comply with the law, one of which prohibits discrimination on the grounds of nationality.

SPEEDY69 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 As far as I know all EU countries committed to bring in equality legislation - we have the Equality Act 2010, Poland has the Equal Treatment Act 2010. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All core legislation is blanket through the EU Such areas as employment law is a pillar of the EU charter 'Local' laws such as differences between England Scotland Wales etc would be limited to minor matters such as hospital car park charges and local taxation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert, so please correct me but I don't think there is an EU law which covers discrimination based on nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next... I'm not sure what you point is. A rider has challenged the BRITISH speedway authorities. If the BSPA/SCB want to avoid this in the future, then the rules and regulations have to abide by UK law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was you had said Poland didnt have to abide by British law and I was stating they effectively they do as the law is the same - European law. Therefore if one can impose restrictions then so can another (or most likely BOTH are undertaking illegal practices) The new arrangement is likely to be just as illegal as the old and can only remain until challenged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
