Description
This seminar aims to provide an overview of the history and development of arbitration in sports, covering the following topics:
- What is the basis of arbitration in sports, and how has it developed?
- When does arbitration in sports apply?
- What does sports arbitration consist of?
- What distinguishes sports arbitration from more conventional commercial arbitration?
Considering these questions and recent important developments, it will be argued that arbitration in sports is a hybrid that requires tailor-made procedures, specialist expert practitioners, and a set of fundamental principles derived as much from administrative and human rights law as from commercial law.
