Arbitration Case Alert

13.06.2019
Case Number: 4A_54/2019 (11 April 2019)
In a French-language decision dated 11 April 2019, but only recently published, the Swiss Supreme Court refused to set aside a Termination Order issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Supreme Court found that the CAS was not excessively formalistic in terminating the proceedings because the hard copies of the appeal brief were not filed by courier.
