Davis Woolfe successfully defended its client against allegations made against him by Marylebone Cricket Club – a body corporate by Royal Charter. Marylebone Cricket Club was defrauded by a former employee – MCC’s Head of Ticketing. According to the MCC, its former employee accepted bribes by way of cash payments and benefits in kind including, allegedly, from our client. MCC, which threatened to bring a claim against our client therefore claimed against its former employee for breach of contract and fiduciary duty and against a number of defendants, including our client, in the torts of bribery and unlawful means conspiracy. However, as a result of intervention from our firm, all allegations against our client were subsequently dropped in circumstances where no bribery or fraud had been committed by our innocent client.
