ABSTRACT
Sports law is a dynamic and ever-evolving field of specialism that has increasingly been characterized by disputes over a range of ‘emerging’ issues. Among the main issues that currently confront Sports Lawyers across the globe and, indeed, in the Caribbean, is the question of whether the ‘no disrepute’ clause typically found in sport contracts unduly circumscribes the rights and interests of sportspeople. This chapter addresses the important question of free movement of sportspeople, by not only examining the importance of this right in modern Sports Law, but also by assessing the increasing juridification of this right following several ground-breaking decisions delivered by supranational courts, including the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). It explores the issue of Sports Law education, and the long-term implications that this recent development is likely to have on the sporting landscape in the region.
