Manchester City, Premier League Welcome Arbitration Ruling on Associated Party Transactions

Posted : 07 October 2024

On Monday, Manchester City and the Premier League expressed their approval of a ruling made by an arbitration panel regarding the club's alleged breaches of the league's Associated Party Transactions (APT) regulations. The panel found that certain aspects of the Premier League's rules governing APTs violated British competition law and were deemed unlawful, particularly as clubs were not given the opportunity to comment on the types of data considered by the league.

 

The panel also determined that the Premier League's decisions concerning two specific transactions, one with First Abu Dhabi Bank and the other with Etihad Aviation Group, were reached in a "procedurally unfair manner." Consequently, the panel ordered that these decisions must be overturned, signaling a significant shift in how such transactions are handled within the league.

 

In response to the ruling, Manchester City issued a statement celebrating their success in the arbitration process. The club highlighted the panel's findings as a validation of their position regarding the league's handling of these matters, reinforcing their commitment to compliance with regulations.

 

The Premier League, on its part, emphasized that the ruling acknowledged the overall objectives, framework, and decision-making processes inherent in the APT system. They reiterated the importance of the APT framework, even as they prepare to reevaluate the specific decisions that were found to be procedurally unfair.
