Question
FACTS: To maintain law and order, a substantial police presence was required inside the defendant's football ground and this involved a significant amount of police overtime. According to the police, their attendance at the request of the club amounted to 'special police services' for which, by statute, the defendants were obliged to pay. The club refused to pay for these services claiming that the police were merely carrying out their normal public duty in ensuring the maintenance of law and order and, therefore, they had provided no consideration for the promise of the defendants to pay for those services. HELD: The responsibility of the club was to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the game took place in conditions that did not occasion danger to any person or property. The attendance of the police was necessary to assist the club in the fulfilment of this duty, which went beyond the maintenance of law and order, and for which the club should pay.
