TO THE PROBLEM OF THE DEFINITION OF THE SPORTS LAW

Journal Title: Часопис цивілістики - Year 2018, Vol 30, Issue

Abstract

The article deals with the problems of determining of the essence of sports law. The points of view on the concept of sports law and attempts to characterize it as a special field of law, a special field of legislation, a complex branch of law, and a complex field of legislation are analyzed. Based on the analysis of the views of legal scholars in scientific works, it is concluded that the definition of sports law as an area of law (legislation) is hopeless, since this branch should have its own subject and method of legal regulation. This statement is based on the peculiarities of understanding of the field of law (legislation) as a part of the legal system, “normative” understanding of law. But if the subject of “sports law” is defined quite simply (it is – “sports relations”), then the method of legal regulation cannot be named precisely. This is explained by the fact that sports relationships can arise in different spheres, and regulated by different ways of legal influence (both imperative and dispositive). The expediency of the characterization of sports law as a concept, as a set of ideas, knowledge, associations, emotions that arise in connection with the legal regulation of social relations, in the branch (es) concerned with sport, is substantiated in the article. Consideration of “sports law” as a concept does not deny the “normative” content of this concept, but eliminates the need to evaluate it as a system of legal rules that form a rigid hierarchical structure. At the same time, the main criterion for assigning a normative act to “sports law”, which is a complex branch of legislation, is the subject of legal regulation – sports relations. It is proposed to distinguish “sports relations” and “relations that arise in the field of sport”. The main difference between them is that “sports relationships” cannot exist outside the sport (for example, relations related to the organization and conduct of sports events, the relationship of recreational physical education, fitness, etc.), and if they exist, they acquire this sphere of essential features, due to the properties of the sphere.
