Fiona Horlick KC appointed to BHA’s Judicial Panel

Outer Temple’s Fiona Horlick KC appointed to British HorseRacing Authority’s independent Judicial Panel for the 2023-2026 term.

The Judicial Panel is established by the BHA as the pool of individuals from which the Disciplinary Panel, Appeal Board and Licensing Committee are drawn by the Judicial Panel Chair.

Fiona Horlick KC was appointed to the Legal Chairs in the Panel amongst other members. She was brought up around horseracing as her grandfather was closely involved in horseracing both in Ireland and the UK as an amateur rider, manager and handicapper.

Following a review of the Judicial Panel’s processes, a number of changes to the Panel’s framework and composition were agreed, to ensure it can continue to deliver in the best interests of the sport. These changes have been reflected in the recruitment process for the new Panel members. Sarah Crowther KC, the Chair of the BHA’s independent Judicial Panel and barrister at Outer Temple Chambers made the announcement of the new appointees.
