Fine

[Colincook]

Hi I’m just wondering can a committee of a fishing club fine it’s own members there’s nothing in the rule book or constitution if this club I’m wanting to know if it’s legal thanks

It is a private club so no legal rights or powers to fine anybody. It can include those powers in the constitution and membership rules that members sign up to when they join. They would then be contract terms that could be enforced like any other contractual term.

I expect that they may have other disciplinary processes they can consider if the particular sanction is challenged.
