Law reform in sport has provided justice to individuals and society to a moderate extent. Law reform is the process of examining existing laws, and advocating and implementing changes in a legal system, usually with the aim of enhancing justice or efficiency. While there have been several developments such as equal opportunity in sport, there are however still flaws in the legal system such as the growth of player payments and compensation claims. The criteria for justice being fairness, equality, access, timeliness, enforceability and resource efficiency then needs to be considered. In sport, the reform of law provides justice to individuals and society as it alludes to the construction of the athlete's “Code of Conduct”. This is a documented contract between sporting leagues or clubs and their players. It encourages the notion of positive activity and behaviour, as public figures in society. Law reform has brought about this code of conduct document, by precedent and negative events of the past. Previous offences are listed as a prohibited form of conduct and hence this prevents the action from being committed in the future, unless the contractor wishes to withstand harsh(er) than usual treatment regarding the offense. The notions of justice are evident in this process as it allows; enforceability - the law can be enforced if the contract is breached, fairness - their wrong actions, as role models, will influence (negatively) their teams and fans, hence why harsh treatment and seriousness of code breaches should be taken more seriously. The Trade and Practices Act (1974) is an example of legislation which provides guidance surrounding the employment of contracts such as baseball’s National Member Protection Policy (2013). Contrasting this is the notion of “what happens on the field, stays on the field”. This statement is commonly used by athletes and can hinder the effectiveness, enforceability and purpose of the player
