Libya v Nigeria - Legal Implications

[Showboy]

Lawyers in the house/For those who are legally curious

Is there space for the Libyan FF to be sued for mishandling/endangering of their assets. Say for example Sevilla/Notts Forest/Leverkusen etc etc put a joint case together following the fiasco in Libya?

Is this something you'd consider if you were working as Legal counsel in any of the teams our boys play for?

Thoughts without insults.

Humans are not assets. The Libya FF cannot be liable because the Se were not directly held up FFF officials. You can’t file a lawsuit against another party for something that happened to you at an airport.

No.

"Damage" is an essential element of any lawsuit of the nature you describe.

Sitting at an airport for a long time is very inconvenient, but it takes more than that to bring a lawsuit.

Humans can be assets. The whole insurance system is based on that.

You can file a lawsuit to whatever happens to you ANYWHERE. As long as you can tick all the boxes of negligence than caused you damage.

Cost of paying players, flight tickets and etc. Cost of game day and TV earnings. There are damages. You also have defamation and etc.

Interesting was not aware. So can psychological distress be classed as damages?

Well said! I'm surprised Emir will state such - he needs to look at the financial books of clubs to fully understand what players are.

It'll be interesting to note the bar at which damages can be set in order to proceed.

What the Libyans did vexed me so much. It struck me as wilful negligence when listening to the pilots experience of the fiasco. As someone opined in one of the earlier posts - flying isn't the same as getting a taxi. There are processes that have to be followed almost completely negating human factors. The Libyans brought a whole lot of human factor into what could have been a disastrous end.

Psychological distress is a legitimate cause for a law suit but it’s also very difficult to prove. You have to be able to show some really negative impacts, such as loss of income, as a result of the distress

Nice one. Im sure medical records would help in attempting to make the link. Thanks for the input!

NFF must sue Libyan FF. If they cannot do that, I have a lawyer in the USA that will take up the case. Take the Libyans to court and clean their clocks. This cannot continue to happen in Africa. If they consider themselves Abrabs, let them move to Arabia. We are Africans and must respect one another. This kind of treatment must be stopped by all means necessary. It is unsciencionable.

Love this!

Its what Im trying to work on via one of the players.

We need to make a stand and with many of these things - monetary loss (or the threat of monetary loss) helps to make people focus. Its important Africans learn that the loss (or potential) of life is not something to be toyed with. The world is watching (and laughing at us as its unheard of) and a stand of sorts needs to be taken.

There are consequences to ones actions!

When you are useless and don't take care of your home, others will learn to disrespect your home and eventually you and your ilk the same. What Libya did was despicable but the NFF should have sent delegates or made arrangements to make sure its players are safe. Another reason why we can't blame these foreign born children from choosing to rep their country of birth.

Disorganization just full everywhere to the point of endangering peoples life. Tufiakwa

There were officials trapped with the team in the deserted airport.
Which ‘delegates’ were the NFF expected to send again, when and how?

Seems you are still looking for an angle to partly blame the NFF for this debacle.
Or maybe I am misunderstanding you?

Oga,

Abeg, where you take study your law?
