Commissioner's Casebook

PREAMBLE

This Case Book contains selected examples of the ACAC Commissioner’s rulings as well as decisions made by the CCAA and the ACAC Executive Committee. These rulings deal with past cases involving questions of eligibility, code of ethics violations, financial assistance limitations and acts of misconduct regulated by the ACAC Operating Code.

The following cases represent a summary of the nature of the rulings rendered by the Commissioner, organized by their location in the Operating Code and cross referenced by topic. The reader should note that cases are not determined or intended to be precedent setting unless otherwise indicated. Rulings should be considered as guidelines only and may vary on a case by case basis.

Please note the list of cases below is listed in chronological order from the most recent (e.g. the current season of play). The list contains cases dating back to the 2007-08 season.  Additional seasons shall be added at a later date.
