The AFL, the joint venture defence and single economic entity theory – Paul A Czarnota
The Australian Football League (AFL) relies on its ability to generate revenue from the “pooling†of broadcasting, merchandise and sponsorship rights by all licensed AFL clubs to effect a level of financial equality throughout the league by virtue of its revenue-sharing arrangements, which in turn allow it to create a marketable competition. This article will focus on whether the aforementioned pooling arrangements contain exclusionary provisions in contravention of s 45 of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), and if so, what defences are available to the AFL. The article contends that it should more properly be open to the AFL to claim immunity from s 45 pursuant to the single economic entity theory, as opposed to being classified as a joint venture and relying on the joint venture defence contained in s 76C of the Act.
