Ipswich Town V Suffolk Police: Force 'Charged Up To ?25,242 Per Match'
BBC Radio Suffolk
In Ipswich Town's writ, Hugh Southey QC says the club have been the victims of "illegal charging" by Suffolk Police in relation to league, cup and friendly games since July 2008.
The barrister says the club had signed two agreements with Suffolk Police, to pay charges for "supply of special police services" on match days, ranging from ?5,926 to ?25,242 per match.
Calling for the ?511,869 to be repaid, he says that "insofar as the charges were levied for public order policing on public land" the force had no legal power to levy them.
