Statutes / Regulations
According to Article 9 (1) Grundgesetz (German Consititution) clubs and federations are entitled to regulate their internal affairs by imposing statutes and/or regulations onto its members, to sanction potential infringements and to set-up internal appeal proceedings. At the same time, these powers are limited. Namely, the entire legal system and the rights of the addressees (clubs, athletes) may not be affected in an unreasonable manner.
