Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    Why do professional performers need legal contracts?

    Model answer

    A contract sets out a performer's pay, conditions and length of employment. The contract protects both the performer and the employer.

  2. 2

    What did the Bosman ruling of 1995 establish?

    Model answer

    The Bosman ruling let footballers in the European Union move on a free transfer when their contract ended. The ruling also ended quotas on EU players at clubs.

  3. 3

    How did the Bosman ruling increase player power?

    Model answer

    Players reaching the end of their contracts could negotiate higher wages and signing-on fees. Clubs began offering longer contracts to protect a player's transfer value.

  4. 4

    What are image rights?

    Model answer

    Image rights are a performer's legal control over the commercial use of their name and likeness. A performer can sell the right to use their image in advertising.

  5. 5

    How can the law help a performer who is injured by an opponent's challenge?

    Model answer

    The injured performer can bring a civil claim for negligence if the challenge was reckless. Deliberate violence can also lead to criminal charges.

  6. 6

    What must an injured player show to win a negligence claim against an opponent?

    Model answer

    The opponent must have owed a duty of care and breached it by acting recklessly. The breach must have caused the injury.
