# Soccer: Manchester City and the Premier League have settled their dispute over the rules governing Associated Party Transactions. The club had mounted a legal challenge claiming that the amended APT rules were unlawful. The rules are designed to prevent clubs from securing sponsorship deals from associated parties that are not deemed to be of fair market value. This settlement is unrelated to the hearing into the 115 charges issued against the Abu Dhabi-owned club by the Premier League for alleged breach of financial regulations.
