Sports Law: (third Edition)

By Michael Beloff, Rupert Beloff, Tim Kerr, et al.

Written by leading practitioners in the field, this book provides a coherent framework for understanding the principles of sports law.

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 sport governing organisations. Second, broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation, including sponsorship, of sports clubs, sporting events and players. 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. Written by an expert team, including the father of sports law, Michael Beloff QC, this is required reading for all those practising in the field.
