Disputes Over Donuts: Sports Arbitration
Welcome to Disputes Over Donuts, our podcast series where we explore the diverse world of dispute resolution with leading experts across various fields. Each episode features different hosts and guests, bringing unique perspectives to the evolving landscape of disputes.
This episode examines the vast range of disputes that can emerge from the world of professional football and the role of arbitration in resolving them. Hosted by Jue Jun Lu, a partner specialising in international arbitration, the episode brings together three members of Charles Russell Speechly’s Sports Group: Darren Bailey in London, Benoit Pasquier in Zurich and Serge Vittoz in Geneva.
The discussion provides an overview of some of the issues and disputes specific to professional football, from player, coach and club contracts to disciplinary and integrity issues such as betting, match-fixing, discrimination and off-field conduct. In terms of arbitration, the episode analyses consent to arbitration, challenges to FA arbitration awards through landmark cases, and the role of the Court of Arbitration for Sport as the "supreme court" of world sport.
