Description

Increasingly, sports organisations are relying on specialised dispute resolution bodies to decide sports-related disputes.  From the ad hoc tribunals at the Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup that hear eligibility and doping disputes in real time, to the specialised sports tribunals located around the world, these sports arbitral institutions aim to resolve sports-related disputes as efficiently as possible. This session will shed light on how sports-related disputes are resolved, looking at the common features shared by sports tribunals (compared to internal dispute resolution bodies of sports federations), including as regards their independence and decision-making process.
