Author Description

This book is unique in that it looks closely at a multitude of international sports associations to consider the development of sports justice, and its relationship with ordinary justice. The authors are all eminent scholars, independent practioners, in-house lawyers and arbitrators, who provide in-depth review and incredible insight into the complexities of the topic. The book is divided into three parts. The first covers the functioning, procedures and case law of the Court of Arbitration for Sport and of Sport Resolutions. The second part focuses on the internal justice mechanisms of major sports associations and organisations in several sports. Particular attention is given to the structure and rules of sports internal judicial bodies, the relevant proceedings, the eligibility, employment, economic and technical disputes, by also taking into due account the relevant case law. The third part deals with international sports leagues and their peculiarities. Finally, the conclusions offer a brief comparative analysis of the examined sports justice systems in order to identify the critical issues, but also the best practices, hopefully paving the way for achieving the best possible international sports justice.
