'Saving Football from Itself: Why and How to Re-make EU Sports Law': The 2022 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture (audio)
The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) hosts an annual public lecture in honour of Lord Mackenzie-Stuart, the first British Judge to be President of the Court of Justice. Among the eminent scholars of European legal studies invited to give the lecture are Professor Joseph Weiler, former Judge David Edwards of the European Court of Justice, and Advocate-General Francis Jacobs of the European Court of Justice. The texts of the Mackenzie-Stuart Lectures are published in the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies. The 2022 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture was delivered by Professor Stephen Weatherill (Emeritus Jacques Delors Professor of European Law, Oxford University) under the title 'Saving Football from Itself: Why and How to Re-make EU Sports Law' on 3 March 2022. Abstract: EU law's application to sport is ad hoc, ex post facto and driven by competition law (and occasionally free movement law). Something more systematic would be helpful - not least because governance in sport needs reform to prevent corruption, intransparency, unaccountable power etc. The latest example/flashpoint being the European SuperLeague. This talk aims to explore these issues further.
