Abstract [en]

This contribution aims to explain the puzzling finding that the principle of legality is one of the general principles included in sports’ transnational legal order, also known as lex sportiva. It follows from the case law of the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) that the principle applies to and limits the power of sports governing bodies to govern their respective sports. This development can partially be explained by the demands of national and international state-based legal orders, and primarily European ones, but not exclusively. The chapter argues that adopting a thicker understanding of legality is ultimately in the interests of sports, sports actors and transnational sports law.

Abstract [en]

On January 21, 2023, the Court of Justice of the European Union issued two judgments on European Union (EU) law as a check on the regulatory power of sport governing bodies: European Super League (ESL) and International Skating Union (ISU). These judgments clarify that private entities who wield regulatory power are under EU law subject to what can be characterized as good governance requirements. After examining how ESL and ISUenhance substantive and procedural good governance, this article explores who benefits—and more importantly who does not benefit—from these good governance requirements. While there is some ambiguity in the judgments regarding the scope of the good governance requirements, the article argues that they both can and ought to be applied broadly to all who enjoy rights under EU law.

Abstract [en]

This open access book explores the complexity of the lex sportiva, the transnational legal regime governing international sports. Pioneering in its approach, it maps out the many entanglements of the transnational governance of sports with European legal processes and norms. The contributors trace the embeddedness of the lex sportiva within national law, European Union law and the European Convention on Human Rights. While the volume emphasizes the capacity of sports governing bodies to leverage the resources of national law to spread the lex sportivaglobally, it also points at the fact that European legal processes are central when challenging the status quo as illustrated recently in the Semenya and Superleague cases. Ultimately, the book is also a vantage point to start critically investigating the Eurocentricity and the complex materiality underpinning the lex sportiva.

Abstract [en]

Research of judges and courts traditionally centers on judgments, treating each judgment as a unit of observation. However, judgments often address multiple distinct and more or less unrelated issues. Studying judicial behavior on a judgment level therefore loses potentially important details and risks drawing false conclusions from the data. We present a method to assist researchers with splitting judgments by issues using a supervised machine learning classifier. Applying our approach to splitting judgments by the Court of Justice of the European Union into issues, we show that this approach is practically feasible and provides benefits for text-based analysis of judicial behavior.

Abstract [en]

Case law citation prediction, i.e., predicting what historical cases are relevant for your current case, can assist legal discovery and decision-making, but legal documents are long, and often only parts of them are relevant for a particular use case. We therefore reframe case law citation prediction as a paragraph-to-paragraph citation task, introduce a new dataset, and train and evaluate new models. We also evaluate our models qualitatively. Our resources provide a first step toward discovering citation patterns and modeling legal rules in EU law from precedent documents.

Abstract [en]

For the European Union (EU) and its component Member States, the last fifteen years have consisted of a series of nearly uninterpreted crises: the global financial crisis, the Euro crisis, the migration crisis, Brexit, the COVID-19 crisis, and, most recently the war in Ukraine. The responses This contribution seeks to reconcile the current development with the EU legal framework governing taxation, viewed through constitutional principles and doctrines on fiscal power.

Abstract [en]

Before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the doctrinal debate on general principles mainly centred on the study of the protection and development of individual rights (the rights-principles debate). In essence, this debate is similar to the study of general principles qua EU fundamental rights. Yet, with the impulse of Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), it has now moved to a debate on the use of general principles by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) to apply and enforce the rule of law in the European Union (the rule of law-principles debate). What is the relationship, if any, between the rights-principles debate and the rule of law-principles debate? The aim of this Chapter is to show the evolution of the debate on general principles; to understand the intrinsic reasons of this shift; and to display its consequences for the theory on general principles and for the EU legal order. Section II looks at the relationship between the general principles and the rule of law, Section III focuses on the analysis of the general principles qua fundamental rights. Section IV focuses on the analysis of the general principles qua rule of law. Section V draws the consequences of the existence of a 'Dworkinian administration' on the doctrine of general principles. Section VI is the conclusion.
