Despite a tribunal ruling parts of the Premier League's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules as unenforceable, the league asserts that new rules enacted in November 2024 remain in effect. This controversy arose from legal challenges brought by Manchester City regarding the legitimacy of sponsorship deals linked to club owners. Although the tribunal acknowledged that three specific aspects of the old rules were unlawful, the Premier League confirmed their new regulations would supersede the void rules, ensuring their enforceability moving forward.
The Arbitration Tribunal has determined the effects of its first award published last year relating to Manchester City's legal challenge of the Premier League's previous Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules.
However, the previous APT rules are no longer in place, as clubs voted new APT rules into force in November 2024. This decision expressly does not impact the valid operation of the new rules.
