Law; Sport & the law

Sports law has been growing with increasing rapidity over the years since the first edition of this book was published in 1999, regularly making headlines as well as leading to a developing body of law practised by specialist lawyers. This revised work, by leading practitioners in the field, with a foreword by Lord Coe, provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law in this area, as well as a deep analysis of its key features. The subject is split into various areas of practice: first, regulatory rules, which embrace the constitutional aspect of organised sport, including the disciplinary procedures of the various governing organisations; second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players; and third,

player's rights and obligations, which embraces a wide range of legal issues including club transfers and player contracts, and issues arising from employment (including discrimination law), personal injury and criminal law. Special attention is paid to the impact of EU and Human Rights law as well as to the influential jurisprudence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

London 2012 provides an appropriate point at which to assess the current state of the law, as well as a look to the future. The target readership extends from solicitors, barristers and legal advisers, to sports organisations and clubs, corporations involved in marketing and sponsorship, media companies, academics teaching sports law, and sports administrators.

“I commend it to everyone who has to administer sport as well as to those who have to advise the administrators or argue cases in the field on whatever side. It is a gold medal book.” From the Foreword by Lord Coe KBE

Reviews for Sports Law

One of the many strengths of this book is its concision and good English. It is well bound, clearly and comprehensively footnoted and with full case indices at the beginning. It is easy to read and at u95 a bargain. Any law firm or sports organisation which has sports legal issues arising from time to time would find this book a very useful addition to library shelves. The authors have struck a lovely balance between in-depth knowledgeable commentary but presented in a way the busy lawyer can understand. It will be my first port of call from now on for any sports law question.Susan SingletonIT Law TodayDecember 2012/January 2013We have now reached the stage where sports law has assumed considerable importance in the many different ways in which it is addressed in this book. And in a country like ours, which is deeply committed to many different sports for entertainment, for personal satisfaction, for fitness, and for livelihoods and international representation, justice in the world of sports is of great importance, for some indeed of overwhelming importance. They, and all those responsible for every sport need to know where they stand, where they might go wrong, and where they need to think before they make their decisions. This book tells them everything they need to know.The Rt. Hon. The Lord Judge, Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales, November 2012Review from the First Editionthis book clearly and accessibly opens up a range of issues which should be of interest to anyone, lawyers or otherwise, who has an interest in the position of sport within an increasingly globalising economy.Raymond BoyleTottel's Communications LawSeptember 2002Review from the First Editionthe skill of the authors is such that there may well now be a specialist sub-topic, the law of the replica football shirtThis collection of interesting and informative papers will help sports law to find a coherence of its own and it is to be commended.Robert ShieldsJournal of the Law Society of ScotlandSeptember 2002
