Acts of sports law: concept, classification and application

In this study, the concept of acts of sports law is analyzed and their types are determined in connection with the concept of information, as well as the the specifics of their application, in particular, in the justice system. The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical theory of law, in the context of which the law is defined as a normative means of social management of society. Legal acts of sports law are management decisions in the field of sports, which are accepted and implemented by the subjects of sports relations. Acts of normative and legal regulation, which contain legal information, and acts of normative and technical regulation, which contain non-legal (technical) information, are distinguished. It is claimed that the branch of sports law is formed by norms that contain a certain composition of legal information and make up the system of normative-legal regulation of sports relations. It was concluded that the normative base of sports in Ukraine does not have proper accounting and systematicity, which creates problems both for the formation of the branch of sports law in the national legal system, and for the practice of solving court cases of a sports-legal nature. One of the reasons for this is the combination of activities of state authorities and non-governmental (public) organizations, primarily national and international sports federations, in sports management.
