Manchester City claimed victory in their arbitration against the Premier League regarding the ruling on two sponsorship deals deemed against league rules, deemed unlawful under UK competition law.
The tribunal's key findings indicated that the Premier League's regulations regarding associated party transactions were partly unlawful, which led City to challenge these rules through arbitration.
The Premier League's concerns about Newcastle United's takeover prompted the introduction of associated party transaction rules, aiming to prevent financial inequities through dubious sponsorship transactions.
After the tribunal's ruling, Manchester City expressed gratitude towards the decision makers, emphasizing the affirmation of their position regarding the 'fair market value' of the sponsorship deals.
