Renunciation to appeal - Revision of award within time-limit to appeal - Untimely challenge of arbitrator - Alleged fraud influencing the award - Request for revision rejected
August 14, 2008

The case involves an attempt at obtaining revision of an award of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) of April 16, 2008, in which the sole arbitrator rejected a claim for a commission on the transfer of a football player. Revision was sought on the basis of subsequent discovery of an alleged lack of impartiality of the arbitrator (see at 2.2.2).

Case struck by CAS because of late payment of advance on fees
February 20, 2009

The decision is quite an unusual one as the case involves the late payment of a deposit to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (“CAS”) and whilst I can think of several cases – of no great scholarly interest incidentally – where a payment was made too late to the Federal Tribunal, I suspect this is the only one involving late payment to an arbitral institution.
