Manchester City have claimed victory in a legal battle with the Premier League over its rules on commercial deals.
The club launched legal action against the associated party transaction rules earlier this year on the grounds they were anti-competitive. On Monday, City released a statement saying the tribunal had declared the APT rules 'unlawful' and that the league had abused a dominant position under competition law.
' The Premier League said the majority of City's challenges in the case were 'rejected' but added: 'The tribunal did, however, identify a small number of discrete elements of the rules which do not, in their current form, comply with competition and public law requirements. 'These elements can quickly and effectively be remedied by the League and clubs.
