ADR Online: An AIAC Webinar Series - A Sports Arbitration Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Game Changer?
The postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics marks the first time in history that the Olympic Games have been postponed, rather than cancelled. The postponement of the games presents an entirely new set of challenges and the sports industry faces an unprecedented situation. With many turning to live streaming of virtual games, old school purists of traditional live sports are faced with a lockdown of sorts. To what extent will the COVID-19 be a game changer to the world of sports? Will the postponement, cancellation and suspension of sports leagues, tournaments & events, lead to possible sports disputes? How will the world of Sports Arbitration react to this global infamy?
In our next webinar, titled: “A Sports Arbitration Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Game Changer?” our panellists include: renowned sports law practitioner, Mr. Nick De Marco QC of Blackstone Chambers, Ms. Angela Collins of Professional Footballers Australia, and Mr. Richard Wee of Richard Wee Chambers as moderator. The panellists will consider the legal and commercial implications to sports and athletes as a result of this unprecedented situation.
This webinar will be held at 5 p.m. MYT (GMT+8) on Tuesday, 14th April.
