BETWEEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC: WHERE ARE THE LIMITS OF THEIR INGERENCE IN SOCIAL RELATIONS? BETWEEN PRIVATE AND PUBLIC: WHERE ARE THE LIMITS OF THEIR INGERENCE IN SOCIAL RELATIONS?

Abstract

This contribution discusses the position of (mainly international) sport federations (civic associations) and their ability to influence social relationships inside and outside of these federations. Despite being entities of private law, it is possible to observe that these associations exceed the limits for their private (mainly contractual) nature of their activities.
