Sport, Intellectual Property and Commerce

The aim of this module is twofold.  Firstly, students are introduced to the intellectual property law framework as it applies to the business of sport, sports events, sports equipment, and the image and personality rights of sportspeople. Secondly, students learn about specific aspects of contract, employment, and agency law in the context of sportspeople, their agents, and professional obligations.

Sports Law and Regulation: UK and International Perspectives

This module aims to support students in acquiring a critical appreciation of key issues impacting legal approaches to sport. A key focus is on the circumstances in and extent to which law and legal institutions will act to intervene in sporting matters. This includes analysis of the approaches across and within legal sub-disciplines in English law. The module also aims to foster critical insight of sport’s regulatory structures, in particular their international, global nature and the extent to which these characteristics impact legal approaches.

Sport and Human Body

This module aims to support students to critically appreciate human body issues arising in the course of participation in sport and how successfully or otherwise these issues are addressed through the making, interpretation and enforcement of sporting and legal rules. The module starts by focusing on the bodily interests of participants and explores the duties to protect these that are placed on other participants and those with special responsibilities (such as coaches, organizers, officials, governing bodies). The middle section critically examines inclusion and exclusion of participation, particularly as they relate to such issues as gender, race and disability. The final section considers drugs and doping. The module draws very extensively on comparative and international content.
