Clause 64 sets out that the regulator must keep the relevant leagues’ compliance under review as well as the need to take enforcement against the relevant leagues. While constructive engagement with clubs would be the regulator’s default first step, this clause references the regulator’s ability to take enforcement action, as outlined in Part 8, to ensure that a distribution order is upheld. This will ensure that a distribution agreement will be in place and functioning between the leagues, even in the worst case scenario. Furthermore, the clause clarifies that the regulator can make rules around how costs associated with the backstop are to be paid.
