The case involved a dispute concerning the transfer of a professional football player.
After various other procedural moves, a three members Panel of the CAS (chairman Bernhard Welten with arbitrators Mark Hovell and Vit Horacek) upheld an appeal by one of the two clubs involved and ordered the other one to pay an amount of € 800’000 plus VAT and interest.
An appeal was made to the Federal Tribunal and the Court rejected the appeal.
