 rnment to chair the\ncommittee that led to the establishment of the statut
 ory National Sports\nTribunal of Australia. \n\n  Abstract\nChronic\nneuro
 logical trauma\, severely impacting the physical\, psychological\,\nprofes
 sional and familial life of former AFL (Australian Rules) players\, is now
 \nthe basis of multiple class action. Former AFL players are seeking compe
 nsation\nin negligence against treating doctors\, clubs and/or the governi
 ng body or\nleague in question. The proceedings are taking place against t
 he backdrop of a\nSenate inquiry into concussion in sport. This presentati
 on assesses the substance\nof such actions\, comparing them to those which
  occurred previously in the US\nand are ongoing in the UK and Ireland. It 
 also asks whether litigation is the\noptimal means of resolving the medica
 l\, regulatory\, and legal concerns of not\nonly the players involved\, bu
 t with how the game is played\; indeed\, the very\nfuture of contact sport
  itself. \n\n Pre-reading A\npaper relevant to the presentation can be acc
