Description
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Sports Law BP 2012 by Marie Demetriou QC The Hon. Michael Beloff QC Rupert Beloff Tim Kerr Qc
Sports law has grown with increasing rapidity since the first edition of this book appeared 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 provides a framework for understanding the principles of sports law as well as a deep analysis of its key features. The book is divided into sections which reflect practice in the area: regulatory rules embracing the constitutional aspect of organised sport and the disciplinary procedures of sports governing organisations; broadcasting and marketing resulting from the commercial exploitation and sponsorship of sports clubs events and players; and players rights and obligations embracing a wide range of legal issues including club transfers player contracts discrimination law personal injury and criminal law. Throughout special attention is paid to 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 provide this overview of the law as well as a look to the future. Among those who will most benefit from reading the book are solicitors and barristers legal advisers to sports organisations and clubs corporations involved in marketing and sponsorship media companies academics and sports administrators.
