About the Book

Long established as the market leading textbook on sports law, this new edition continues to offer a comprehensive and authoritative examination of the legal issues surrounding and governing sport. Alert to the role that sport plays within society throughout, this edition is divided into four core Parts: Governance & Sport, Commercial Regulation, Sports Workplace and Safety in Sport.

Written by eminent experts in the field, this book is the go-to resource for academics teaching and researching sports law. The book will use carefully selected extracts to provide students with a contextual understanding of each topic, while offering clear avenues for further reading and research.

Sports law is an optional module, which is most commonly taught in the second and third year of the LLB. It is a fast-growing subject, with student numbers averaging around 50 per year. There are also a variety of smaller markets for the textbook, including sport and leisure students, and professionals working in sports law and the wider sports industries.

  • A concise discussion of the theoretical understanding of the regulation of sport in the context of its history and culture in the UK
  • The question of nationality, team quotas and the relationship with European employment law
  • EU compaction law interaction with sport under articles 81/82 EU.
  • The World Anti-Doping Agency code in the context of recent and on-going cases
  • analysis of recent Court of Arbitration for Sport jurisprudence
  • The increasing occurrence of ADR mechanisms in resolving sporting disputes
  • An expanded chapter on IP law in sport using London 2012 as a case study
