INFORMATION / REGISTRATION

Target audience:

Sports Law in India, should be to provide, educational opportunities and disseminate data and information regarding specific area of Sports Law and create a forum for Lawyers, Arbitrators, Attorneys representing Athletes, Teams, Leagues, Sports Organisations, Civic Recreation Programmes, Education Institutions and other organisations involved in Professional, Collegiate, Universities, Olympics, Physical Education and Armature Sports, CAS Arbitrators, Staff and officials of Legal Departments of Ministries of Law and Youth Affairs & Sports, in-house counsel with Companies, National Spots Organisations active in the field of sport whose contracts or articles of association provide for CAS jurisdiction under section – 59 of the Olympic Charter.

1 Objectives of the seminar:

From a mere source of entertainment and personal recreation, Sports has grown into a highly competitive industry with global pervasiveness. It is one of the largest revenue generating industries in the World comprising 3% of the World Trade. It has also metamorphosed into an important and inevitable political and social activity. Beijing Olympics did more for Chinese soft Power in three months, what diplomacy could not do in three decades.

India with hosting the XIX Commonwealth Games, Delhi – 2010, in October, 2010 a mega Sporting Fiesta with 5000 competitors from 86 countries, more than 1.2 million spectators and an estimated 76,000 crore rupees invested to make Delhi the cynosure of the Sporting World.

But, the Sporting World has plagued by scandals and controversies in the past few decades. The Olympic Games bidding scandals, the recent Indian Premier League scam, allegation of sexual harassment by Indian Women’s Hockey Team, and scam in the Organisation of the XIX Commonwealth Games, Delhi – 2010 have rocked the nation. All these incidents expose the dark side of a highly competitive world.

It is an appropriate and high time to analyze the need for lucid provisions pertaining to Sports in India in the true spirit of “ International Sports Law & CAS ”. The magnitude of the problem and its nuances makes it clear that a Sports Law in India will no longer be an applied law or amalgamation of Laws under some jurisdiction of Indian Law but law of its own right as per “International Sports Law & CAS ”.

Sports Law in India:

Entry 33 in the Seventh Schedule of our Constitution has provided a provision for the State as well as Centre to make and enact laws on regulation, registration and recognition of Associations involved in Sports. In India, the provincial Sports Bodies work under non profit making organisations either under the Societies Registration Act or the Company law jurisdiction, Rule and Regulation like statutory orders and act only as secondary legislations supplementing Laws.

The Competition Law (2002) and Intellectual Property Rights Laws promotes Competition Advocacy, forbids abuse of dominance and anti – competitive agreements.

Aims of the Seminar :

A comprehensive law on Sport must aim at broader ideals and vision of this Seminar. The area of Sports Law in India is new and at the nascent stage of conception in our country. Nevertheless, it is an area of study that is worthy of definition and in-depth inquiry and practice. A fresh perspective and an independent authority and a comprehensive law is the need of the hour.

The law makers should, thus provide and disseminate the ideas and informations on various issues related to Sports and encourage the exchange of a variety of perspective through this conference before embarking on the mission. These are some pressing issues that need awareness and discussion in this Seminar:

* Indian Sports Policies vis-à-vis to the Olympic Laws;

* Organisational Matter of Indian Sports Organisation with reference to the Olympic Laws;

2 * Research in Sports Law in India and

* Sports Arbitration and Mediation need for constitution of a, “Sports Dispute Redressal Arbitration mechanism” independent of Indian Olympic Association, National Sports Organisation and Bureaucratic influence as per Rule – 59 of the Olympic Charter and Court of Arbitration for Sports, Lausanne, Switzerland.. * Doping a menace for Athlete and application of WADA in Indian Sports

* Players Agents World Wide and Legal Aspects in Indian Sports

* Harassments in Sports

* Broadcasting and TV rights

* Scope of International Arbitration Award (CAS) on Indian Sports
