Sport, Mediation and Arbitration (ASSER International Sports Law Series)

This book deals with the increasingly important subject of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in sport. The forms of ADR pertinent to the settlement of sports disputes, including mediation, arbitration and 'expert determination', are clearly explained and illustrated with case histories, rulings and awards. Likewise, the organisation and activities of the main sports bodies offering discrete extra-judicial forms of dispute resolution are covered, including UK Sports Resolutions, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), and the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber. The book also reviews the emerging Lex Sportiva of the CAS built up over its 25 years' existence. The settlement of sports-related 'domain name' disputes by the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is also featured. The book is supplemented with Appendices containing such relevant materials as leading CAS awards and WIPO decisions.
