Focus: The Seraing Judgment and EU Law

One year after the CJEU delivered its ruling in FIFA v. Diarra, this Special Report reviews its first concrete effects on the transfer system. It provides a concise assessment of what has changed in practice - and what has not - following the adoption of FIFA’s Interim Regulatory Framework and the early adjustments made by clubs, players, agents and dispute-resolution bodies. 

The edition also includes a Focus on the Seraing judgment, which clarifies the interaction between EU law and sports arbitration, notably regarding res judicata and the role of national courts in reviewing CAS awards. 

You will additionally find our regular selection of recent CAS and Swiss Federal Tribunal case-law, along with international and national updates from several jurisdictions.
