Subject: Employer's claim for injury to employee

I think the answer to Jason's question is that the CA thought there could be a potential conflict of interest between the doctor's duty to the player, and his duty to the club, reasoning that the club might want to pressure the doctor into saying the player was fit to play when he wasn't. But would it ever be in the club's best interests to do this?

Why couldn't she owe both on the right circumstances?

No reason at all. But there should be a pretty positive reason to do so. As I see it (and I suspect the CA would), the appropriate circumstances would be a contract between the doctor & the employer, or possibly an unequivocal "you can trust me, guv".
