Description

An accessible handbook covering all aspects of legal challenges, addressing the numerous and often complex legal disputes that have followed the commercialisation of sport, by focusing on the circumstances in which various participants might need to challenge the actions of sport governing bodies and the legal grounds for such challenges.

The key updates in the new edition include:

- Domestic and European cases applying competition law (eg QPR v EFL; PRL v Saracens; Poulter v European Tour; The FA Agents Rule K arbitration, the Super League case; the International Skating Union case)
- Domestic and European cases on the application of financial fair play rules in football
- Developments in doping rules and case law
- Development of the domestic law on implied contractual obligations to act fairly (the Braganza v BP Shipping case law)
- Legislation to bring in a new independent regulator of football
- Developments towards public hearings of sports disciplinary hearings

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Sport Law online service.
