Does sports law exist as a separate legal order?
Author: Pavles Tjuševs
In this article tries to find the answer to the frequently asked question “What is "sports law"?” The response to this question, quite often asked by lawyers and non-legal professionals is not easy to find. The traditional view is that sports law represents a mixture of various substantive areas of law that are relevant in the sports context. Some commentators, on the contrary, emphasize the growing body of case and statutory law specific to the sports industry as evidence of the existence of a separately identifiable body of law.

/Publication available only in Latvian/
Author: Viktorija Jarkina
Jurista Vārds, 08.07.2008., Nr.25 (530)
The article describes main features of the option and swap agreements.
Option agreement is a bilateral agreement by which one party ensures a
possibility to the other to acquire or sell a certain asset for a certain price
by getting a certain remuneration for it. Option are also derivative financial
instruments, e.g. call options or put options. In terms of performance, options
may be qualified as American or European options. European type of option has a
fixed date for performance, whereas the American option type may be performed
at any date until the end of the fixed term of the agreement. Swap agreement,
similarly to the option agreement, is one of the financial market derivative
instrument agreements. In its essence, swap agreements are derivative
agreements stipulating change with cash flow, the amount of which is dependent
on the basic value of derivative agreement concluded between two parties within
a specific period. In the meaning of the Latvian Civil law, the swap agreement
could be included in the category of risk agreements and qualified as the
purchase (future purchase).
