Complainant Name: Clauses Noted: 1 Publication: The Observer Complaint: Corin Willis complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the newspaper had published a comment piece on racism which erroneously included an example of an allegedly racist incident which, in fact, the courts had found could not be proven. He argued that this represented a breach of Clause 1 (Accuracy) of the Editors' Code of Practice. Resolution: The complaint was resolved when the newspaper published the following correction online and in print: In "I wasn't able to protect my brother - but now I can help other people" (News, 10 June) we referred to "a fan caught racially abusing an Oldham player", referring to an arrest at Anfield on 6 January. We should make it clear that in March the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case, saying what evidence there was appeared to support the suspect's account of events.
