Football Banning Orders in Civil Proceedings

Football Spectators Act 1989 (FSA), section14B:

  1. An application for a banning order may be made by the chief officer of police for the area in which the person resides or appears to reside if it appears that the condition in (2) is met.
  2. The condition is that the respondent has at any time caused or contributed to any violence or disorder in the UK or elsewhere.
  3. Application is by complaint to a magistrates' court.
  4. If
    1. it is proved on the application that the condition in subsection (2) is met, and
    2. the court is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that making a banning order would help to prevent violence or disorder at or in connection with any regulated football matches, the court must make a banning order in respect of the respondent.

See grounds for the matters to be taken into consideration.
