Responsibility for Damages in two cases of Contractual Football Sport Law

Abstract

The co-authors in this paper highlight two interesting cases of contractual football law in which the UEFA (Curtois case) and the Commission for certifying registration of clubs and players HNS (Muric case) obviously overstepped their powers and the fundamental rules of domestic and foreign contractual law. Following such action, considerable damages occurred particularly in the Curtois case. The co-authors analyse whether liability for damages occurred in these two cases which belong to classic contractual relations between clubs and players.
