Applicable law When any spectator is found to be injured while watching any sporting event then the mainquestion that arises is who shall take the responsibility of such injury.It is analyzed in [ CITATION Woo \l 1033 ]and [ CITATION Roo671 \l 1033 ]by Glesson CJ and Kitto Jthat the law of negligence is applicable even if the games are risky. The law ofnegligence is a tort law wherein the defendant is liable for the losses that are sustained bythe plaintiff because of the non-compliance of the duty of care that is expected from thedefendant. Recently, in [ CITATION Oll04 \l 1033 ], the court held liability on an amateurgolfer who failed to take reasonable safety measures while striking a ball before playingwhich stuck another golfer. Also, in[ CITATION Mac \l 1033 ], there were insufficient safetymeasures which resulted in declaring the defendant negligent.[ CITATION Sch05 \l 1033 ]. Thus, to impose negligence the main requirements include:[ CITATION Sch05 \l 1033 ]I.Duty of care signifies that the defendant must carry out his acts so that no damage iscaused to the plaintiff who is his neighbor and is resemble foreseeable. In the event ofsports, there exist duty of care upon:a.Every occupier against all those person who are present in the premises, that is, spectators, players, etc.to make every unsafe thing safe, and;to provide safety against dangersb.a sports supervisor, that is, managers, trainers, administrators, medical advisors,,organizers of events and volunteers, own duty of care against participants and spectators [CITATION Wat87 \l 1033 ].c.all the participants own a duty of care against each other [ CITATION Fra90 \l 1033 ].d.also, the employers are held to be owned by the actions of the players [ CITATION Bud93 \l1033 ].II.When the duty of care is not cater as per the desired level of standard then there is breach.The breach is analyzed considering the age of the participant, experience of coach etc.III.It is necessary that because of such duty there must be some loss that is suffered by theplaintiff. But, the defendant can protect themselves by establishing that the spectators are fully aware ofthe inherent risks that are involved in the given situations and the spectators willinglydecided to be part of such sporting event and thus take defense of volenti non fit injuria.But, it is held in [ CITATION Woo \l 1033 ] and[ CITATION Rom98 \l 1033 ], when the risk isobvious then there is no need to provide any kind of warning notice and the plaintiff mustsecure his own interest. The law is now applied to the given situation.
