2022 ANNUAL SURVEY:
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SPORTS LAW
INTRODUCTION
This Survey highlights sports-related cases decided by courts between
January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2022. While every sports-related case may
not be included in this Survey, it briefly summarizes a wide range of cases that
impacted the sports industry in 2022. The Survey intends to provide the reader
insight into the important legal issues affecting the sports industry and to
highlight the most recent developments in sports law. To better assist the
reader, this Survey is arranged alphabetically by the substantive area of law of
each case.
ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Alternative dispute resolution involves an alternate form of adjudicating
cases. Parties may choose to settle a dispute through arbitration instead of
through the court system. These cases arose over contract disputes, in which
the contracts involved an arbitration clause. If a party brings a dispute to court
when the contract contains an arbitration clause, the opposing party may file a
motion to compel arbitration. Other arbitration disputes arise over unfair
arbitration decisions.
B.D. v. Blizzard Ent., Inc.1
Plaintiff were a father and son who made in-game video game purchases
and filed suit against Defendant claiming the randomized value of the in-game
purchases violated unfair competition law. Defendant filed a motion to compel
arbitration based off a licensing agreement, which was denied by the district
1. 292 Cal. Rptr. 3d 47 (Cal. Ct. App. 2022).
