Warren B Chik

(2007) 19 SAcLJ 267

Abstract:
As Singapore aspires to domestic excellence and international glory in sporting achievements, its sports administration infrastructure will also have to mature in line with its policy objectives to grow the sporting industry. The area of dispute resolution is ripe for a change to ensure that sports disputes are properly and efficiently managed, given the unique nature of such conflicts. This article will present the current sports scene in Singapore and make the case for the establishment of a framework for sports law arbitration to deal with most, if not all, sports disputes.
