Abstract

The unincorporated status of sporting organisations might pose a problem to parties wishing to sue a sporting organisation in jurisdictions like England and Sri Lanka which do not have statutory provisions enabling these organisations to be sued in their own name. This article considers the question of how sporting organisations can be sued for breach of contract in common law jurisdictions, taking as its case study the recent claim brought by Upul Chandika Hathurusinghe (the former Head Coach of the Sri Lanka Men’s National Cricket Team) against the governing body for cricket in Sri Lanka - Sri Lanka Cricket.
