Die Vorlageberechtigung von Sportschiedsgerichten zum Europäischen Gerichtshof nach Art. 267 AEUV

»The Authority of Arbitral Courts for Sport to Request the Court of Justice of the European Union Referred to Art. 267 TFEU«

In most cases athletes are required to sign a contract that directs disputes to arbitration before taking part in their chosen sport. So litigation in sport in principle is decided by arbitration panels. Their judgments must respect both the national law and the law of the European Union. Simultaneously the number of cases related to sports law increases steadily. It is important that arbitration panels in sport have the authority to request the CJEU to apply Article 267 of the TFEU.
