Challenging Sports Governing Bodies

Challenging Sports Governing Bodies is a practical handbook focusing on the circumstances in which various participants might need to challenge the actions of sport governing bodies and the legal grounds for such challenges. The procedural aspects of court challenges are addressed, as well as other dispute resolution mechanisms in the context of sport.

Challenging Sports Governing Bodies covers the decision to challenge the actions of a sports governing body and considers the causes of action that form a basis for them. This title refers to this important area of practice that more company, commercial and regulatory practitioners are venturing in to. The text is encyclopaedic in nature and practice based providing a practical analysis of key issues for practitioners. Footnotes are used to identify the leading cases for propositions in the main text and to help with finding similar and relevant cases. To ensure this work is comprehensive in its subject matter there is a short section on Remedies focusing on internal appeal routes and arbitration. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Sports Law online service.
