The jurisprudence of the FIFA Dispute Resolution Chamber

"In 2001 FIFA established a Dispute Resolution Chamber for the purpose of resolving disputes regarding the international status and transfer of players. The DRC has since then developed into a major and influential alternative resolution body, with an impressive and ever increasing caseload. In this book the most important decisions of the DRC are published in their full text and analysed. The relevant judicial aspects in relation to the DRC are addressed, as well as the different categories of disputes, inter alia, the termination of employment contracts, the amount of compensation and the sporting sanctions. From the case law of the DRC a so-called Lex Sportiva is developing which will help to guide all those with a sporting and financial interest in professional football, such as lawyers, agents, managers and administrators, but also researchers and academics."--BOOK JACKET.
