Details

This comprehensive book examines the global landscape of sports arbitration, tracing its evolution from ad hoc litigation to sophisticated, bespoke arbitration systems that now govern most aspects of modern sport.

Jason Haynes and J. Tyrone Marcus explore the shift towards alternative dispute resolution in sports, driven by the excessive costs, lengthy processes and lack of specialized knowledge within the traditional court system. Aside from focussing on the development and successes of the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the authors provide a detailed analysis of both national and international sports tribunal systems, highlighting diverse institutional approaches and common jurisprudential threads. The book demonstrates how sports arbitration has successfully tackled intricate contemporary issues such as anti-doping, human rights, safeguarding and integrity threats. It illustrates the transformation of sports dispute resolution from a niche alternative into an essential mechanism for navigating the complexities of sporting regulations, commercial interests and fundamental rights.

Sports Arbitral Tribunals and Their Jurisprudence is a useful resource for scholars, students and practitioners of sports law, arbitration, mediation and comparative law. It is also beneficial to sports organizations interested in understanding the changing landscape of sporting law.
