Sport and the Law, Second Edition is fully revised, expanded, and updated since its first publication in 2010. The professionalisation and commercialisation of sport has brought with it a number of legal issues. Sport is an industry which accounts for around three percent of the European Union’s (EU) Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A number of recent scandals at international and national level have highlighted the importance of good governance and as a corollary the need for public confidence to be restored. The law has a role to play, however, the extent of its involvement has been the subject of academic discourse. Sport and the Law identifies the main legal concepts, draws on case law and legislation from Ireland, and adopts a comparative methodology as it examines other jurisdictions, including England and Wales, Canada, and Australian.
