Work of court of arbitration for sport in Lausanne

The article is devoted to the work of Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. Difficulties in relations in the field of sports, professional sports, the emergence of new parties (sponsors, television agencies, international federations), as well as the total commercialization of sport determined attention to the legal and organizational management of sports events and conflicts in this sphere. Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne is the most authoritative body on the resolution of the sports disputes. Since 1996 it has launched regional branches (Oceania and North America). Work experience of these bodies and their co-operation in the Central office of CAS in Lausanne is of great interest.
