Man City win in Premier League dispute over transaction rules

In a statement released by the club on Monday, it expressed gratitude to the members of the Arbitral Tribunal for their work and considerations and welcomed the findings.

“The club has succeeded with its claim: the Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules have been found to be unlawful, and the Premier League’s decisions on two specific MCFC sponsorship transactions have been set aside.

“The tribunal found that both the original APT rules and the current (amended) APT rules violate UK competition law and the requirements of procedural fairness,” the statement said.

The tribunal criticised the Premier League for its application of the APT rules, stating that the rules were structurally unfair and that the league was specifically unjust in how it applied those rules to the club in practice.

This resulted in specific decisions by the Premier League regarding Manchester City’s sponsorship transactions being set aside.
