03/10/2011 - The Scottish Football Association appoints Gary Allan QC to its Judicial Panel. Following a complete revision of the disciplinary procedures governing the sport from the highest professional to the lowest amateur level, the Scottish Football Association has appointed a Judicial Panel to adjudicate in disciplinary matters arising both on and off the field of play, amongst players and other parties involved in the game.The Association has appointed Gary Allan QC as an Appeal Chair member of its new Judicial Panel. His principal remit is to preside over appeals from decisions of disciplinary tribunals, including those under the new fast track system following on field incidents, but he will also sit at first instance in matters of complexity. Gary said “The Scottish Football Association has worked very hard and very carefully, and it has devised a robust disciplinary code and process which it is confident will address the future and some matters which may have caused concern in the past. In this new chapter, I am honoured and pleased to be able to make this contribution to the work of the Association”. TAKEN FROM : http://www.compasschambers.com/news.asp About 1/4 of the way down.
