Rarely, do my worlds of taxation law and basketball interact, but this case is a brief dive into the world of experimental basketball shoe construction and a unsuccessful Research and Development (R&D) application in the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) for the business involved For the shoe people out there, just read para 22 to 31 Active Sports Management Pty Ltd and Industry Innovation and Science Australia [2023] AATA 4078 (6 December 2023) https://lnkd.in/gbe-NqSc What this R&D case does provide is a timely reminder as to how R&D claims need proper record keeping and substantiation - 2024 will see more cases like this fall over in the AAT. How strong is the evidence supporting your clients R&D claim? Probably my final post for the year - wishing you all seasons greeting and all the best for 2024.

This is a fabulous forum for ideas on road safety that work and need to be shared. Solutions that have an overwhelming evidence base for effectiveness should not be ignored. Graduated Driver Licensing fits into that category.

As someone who works heavily in the NIL space, this is an absolutely massive change to the entire Florida NIL Landscape! Any Florida athletes who are eligible to begin receiving and negotiating NIL deals, whether high school or college, please remember these few things: 1) If someone is going to be your NIL Rep, NIL Agent, or just reach out to brands on your behalf, that individual must either be a Florida Bar Attorney in Good Standing, or have their Athlete Agent License from DBPR; 2) Before you sign a contract, please make sure you understand ALL of the terms of that contract, including what happens if either side fails to live up to their end of the agreement; and 3) Make sure that the deal you are entering into is not going to conflict with any of the school sponsors, or conflict with terms of any other agreement you have entered into! It is always best to have an attorney in your corner to review these NIL deals BEFORE they are signed, and who better to hire than someone who is a former NFLPA Certified Contract Advisor and NIL Agent? #callpaul #NIL #contract #sports #entertainment #law

Ruth Cadbury Louise Haigh MP Please take a few minutes out of your busy campaigning schedule and watch this: you may be shaping the UK's policy in just over a week's time. There a 4 key demands agreed by more than 80 leading road safety organisations to cut deaths and serious injuries: 1. Developing a National Road Safety Strategy - Implement a Safe System Strategy focused on prevention, protection, and post-collision response, coupled with evidence-based targets and robust safety performance indicators. 2. Establishing a Road Safety Investigation Branch - An independent body modelled after existing transportation safety branches to analyse road incidents and provide actionable insights for preventing future tragedies. 3. Introducing Graduated Driver Licensing - A progressive licensing system to support young drivers by limiting high-risk driving situations, a measure proven to reduce fatalities by up to 40%. 4. Adopting Advanced Vehicle Safety Regulations - Immediate implementation of the world-leading vehicle safety standards, mandating critical technologies such as Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Speed Assistance. Decisive action on young drivers could address the appalling death toll of teens and young adults.

Is the recent preliminary injunction against the NCAA a big deal? I don't think so on what really matters, which is broadcast revenue sharing with the P5/P4 FB and MBB players, IMO. Reality—No Player Compensation from Universities: "The NCAA still has some rules regarding NIL compensation, which has ballooned into the millions for thousands of athletes. The schools themselves can’t pay and school employees such as coaches and athletic department administrators can’t be involved in the negotiation of NIL deals." Blink Twice at What the Grifters Are Selling: "Jason Belzer, founder of Athlete NIL, which helps operate numerous collectives, said the removal of NCAA rules should make collectives more accountable. “'Now collectives have to potentially put things in writing,’ Belzer said. 'And what I can tell you is that the vast majority of collectives, the vast majority, do not have all of the money in the bank that they need to fund their rosters when they sign a kid, much less offer an athlete something.'” Ralph D.
