About this Book

The Swiss International Sports Arbitration Reports provides for the first time a
full English translation of the decisions made by the Swiss Federal
Supreme Court in setting aside proceedings against awards made by Court
of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) panels, irrespective of whether the
original decision was published in the German, French or Italian
language, or whether the decision has been officially published or is
simply available on the Court’s website.  The English translation is
presented parallel to the original text of each decision, and is
preceded by a head note and a summary of the decision for the reader in a
hurry.

The
importance of the CAS based in Lausanne is well known to all
practitioners engaged in sports law and arbitration. It was once
famously described as the "Supreme Court of World Sports."  Whether
a CAS panel decides in ordinary arbitration proceedings or in an appeal
brought against the decision of a federation, association or sports
related body, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne has the last
word where the dissatisfied party challenges the CAS panel’s decision in
court proceedings.This work is edited by two well-known Swiss practitioners, both of whom
are engaged full-time in international arbitration as counsel and
arbitrators, and have published widely on issues of international law
and arbitration.

This publication will be of great use to arbitrators, parties, lawyers
involved in sports arbitration as well as commentators who will benefit
from access to case law in one key jurisdiction for international sports
arbitration.
