Logos and No-gos: A Hollow Victory?
The Court of Justice's decision in the FA Premier League case has the potential to shake-up the European sports broadcasting market, though perhaps not as much as some might hope, or indeed as some others might fear
Few decisions issued by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) in recent years have attracted quite as much attention, both amongst lawyers and the average man (or at least the average sports fan) on the street, as last week's judgment.
As this eBulletin explains, whilst this decision could have far-reaching consequences for the manner in which sports broadcasting rights are licensed within the EU in future, it is questionable whether - in the short-term at least - pub landlords and sports fans alike are likely to reap any great benefit.
