  • China at the Gates a New Power Audit of Eu-China Relations
    CHINA AT THE GATES A NEW POWER AUDIT OF EU-CHINA RELATIONS François Godement & Abigaël Vasselier ABOUT ECFR The European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) is the first pan-European think-tank. Launched in October 2007, its objective is to conduct research and promote informed debate across Europe on the development of coherent, effective and values- based European foreign policy. ECFR has developed a strategy with three distinctive elements that define its activities: • A pan-European Council. ECFR has brought together a distinguished Council of over two hundred Members - politicians, decision makers, thinkers and business people from the EU’s member states and candidate countries - which meets once a year as a full body. Through geographical and thematic task forces, members provide ECFR staff with advice and feedback on policy ideas and help with ECFR’s activities within their own countries. The Council is chaired by Carl Bildt, Emma Bonino and Mabel van Oranje. • A physical presence in the main EU member states. ECFR, uniquely among European think-tanks, has offices in Berlin, London, Madrid, Paris, Rome, Sofia and Warsaw. Our offices are platforms for research, debate, advocacy and communications. • Developing contagious ideas that get people talking. ECFR has brought together a team of distinguished researchers and practitioners from all over Europe to carry out innovative research and policy development projects with a pan-European focus. ECFR produces original research; publishes policy reports; hosts private meetings, public debates, and “friends of ECFR” gatherings in EU capitals; and reaches out to strategic media outlets. ECFR is a registered charity funded by the Open Society Foundations and other generous foundations, individuals and corporate entities.

  • WESTS TIGERS RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL V NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE – the CASE THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED the NRL
    2011 6(1) Australian and New Zealand Sports Law Journal 1 WESTS TIGERS RUGBY LEAGUE FOOTBALL v NATIONAL RUGBY LEAGUE – THE CASE THAT COULD HAVE STOPPED THE NRL David Trodden* ‘It could cost us £30 million but what can we do? He’s given a goal.’ This was Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp speaking after a refereeing error resulted in a goal being awarded against his team when the ball clearly didn’t cross the goal line. It was in a crucial end of season match against Chelsea in the English Premier League. Spurs lost the match 2–1, negatively affecting their prospects of qualifying for the European Champions League in the following season.1 ‘What can we do’ asks Harry? ‘You can’t sue a referee’ I hear you say. Why not? Everyone else is liable for their mistakes. Why not a referee? Is there any principle of law which prevents a referee from being sued? This article attempts to examine what Harry Redknapp, and those in similar situations, can do. It examines the possibility of taking action to correct an incorrect refereeing decision. It also considers, in a far briefer and more general sense, the possibility of recovering damages in circumstances where the decision can’t be corrected. Wests Tigers found themselves in a similar situation to Tottenham Hotspur when a refereeing error cost them the chance of playing in the 2010 National Rugby League (‘NRL’) Grand Final. This is what they could have done. Introduction On 25 September 2010, Wests Tigers played against St George Illawarra Dragons at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, in the preliminary final of the National Rugby League Competition.
