Contracting Against Your Dad Embarrassing You

Which is exactly what Australia’s swimming sisters Bronte and Cate Campbell have tried to do. Apparently after their father gave a number of effusive interviews to the press, the sisters turned to contract law in an attempt to protect them from further such events. As this article reports, the sisters entered into a contract with their father in which he promised, “to the best of [his] ability,” “not to embarrass [his] daughters on national television.”

No word on what their father received in exchange for this promise.
