Sports Law in the United Kingdom

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of sports law in the United Kingdom deals with the regulation of sports activity by both public authorities and private sports organizations. The growing internationalization of sports inevitably increases the weight of global regulation, yet each country maintains its own distinct regime of sports law and its own national and local sports organizations. Sports law at a national or organizational level thus gains a growing relevance in comparative law.
