Sport and the law

In recent years, legal actions arising out of sporting activities have become increasingly common. Sports funding, tax, VAT obligations, insurance commitments, and civil and criminal liabilities for negligent or reckless actions (both by participants and spectators) are all areas where specialized legal knowledge is needed. This volume contains a treatment of all aspects of this topic, from crowd control and violence, to players' contracts and taxation, and from disciplinary tribunals to Sunday sport. The second edition brings the book up to date with the many and varied developments of recent years and, in particular, expands its coverage with the inclusion of a chapter on the Single European Market.
