An FA Appeal Board dismissed an appeal brought by The FA against the decision of a Regulatory Commission that had dismissed a charge of breaching FA Rule E1.1 against the Watford and Morocco international midfielder, Imran Louza, for allegedly spitting at an opposing player towards the end of their Championship game against Swansea City in October 2022.
The decision of the Appeal Board provides helpful guidance about the application of the civil standard of proof in FA cases, as well as the threshold for an appeal. The written reasons are available here.
Adam Lewis KC acted for The FA and Nick De Marco KC acted for the player.
