Sports Arbitration
The majority of disputes in the sporting arena are resolved by way of Arbitration – a private dispute resolution process in which the parties consent to the final and binding determination of their dispute by a panel of either one, or three independent and expert arbitrators. As a general rule, arbitrations are governed by the 1996 Arbitration Act and can also be managed in accordance with a sport’s governing body’s, or specialist independent dispute resolution service’s arbitration rules.
The members of chambers at Mercantile Barristers are accustomed to advising on certain arbitration rules and procedures, taking instructions on advising on and drafting written arguments and evidence in accordance with a timetable agreed with the arbitration process and in accordance with those rules. Our barristers are also able to represent clients in arbitration proceedings and advise on the consequences of written awards.
