Dean Vuleta
Abstract
The complexity of legal relationships and specific situations that are possible in sport and sport activities and the actors of such situations require additional legal regulation and supplementation of existing legal norms and legal acts: sports, compulsory, civil, labor, medical, criminal, judicial and other legal branches , directly and indirectly related to sport. Apart from all the rules applicable to sport, the legislator has failed to establish and standardize a relatively common phenomenon in modern sports, which is the sporting and legal consequences of inadequate training and methods of work. This primarily refers to anxiety and various sports injuries as well as possible secondary personality injuries as a result of impractical work (psychological instability, athlete’s depression and fear of losing a sports career). Non-professional work leads to short-term cessation of sports activities due to overt and various injuries (sports injuries and accompanying personality injuries), and in the long run and until the end of the sports career. The existence of all persons involved in such cases can potentially be compromised. Responsible culprits in such cases (coaches, managers, sponsors, doctors, and others) must have legal consequences through property, criminal, and other sanctions. What are the legal consequences of such cases and who is obliged to determine the default of the legislative authority. The legislator should initiate an initiative to introduce into the legal system of new specialized judicial bodies. Such sports courts were legally competent to identify, misdiagnosise and sanction the consequences of improper work in sports, as well as for all other sporting and sporting events. This would have to happen through legal novelties that would fill the present legal gaps and improprieties and cause reparations to the provisions of some legal acts, primarily the Sports Act. Sports courts would be competent solely in all sport-related disputes except in the case of offenses punishable by sport in which a prison sentence is envisaged. It would consist of legal professionals who are well aware of the professionalism of sport and its specificity as human activities, ie former athletes of legal profession and other persons (eg expert witnesses) who are specialists in certain sports. Such cases are currently under the jurisdiction of regular courts, and this situation leads to lengthy disputes and litigation and high costs of the involved actors and the state. Regular court judges (municipal and county) do not have to know the sport and its specificity and legality.
