It provides a neutral forum where conflicts involving sports organizations and individuals, such as athletes or officials, can be resolved through binding arbitration or mediation. CAS operates in four main areas: ordinary arbitration, appeal procedures, mediation, and anti-doping cases. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335557856&quot;:16777215,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:150}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The CAS mediation procedure offers several advantages tailored to the sports world.

Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party, the mediator, helps facilitate communication between the parties in dispute and assists them in reaching a mutually agreeable solution. Unlike arbitration, mediation does not impose a decision; instead, it empowers the parties to control the outcome through negotiation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the context of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), mediation involves a mediator with expertise in the sports industry who works with the disputing parties to find a resolution. CAS offers mediation services on a stand-alone basis.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">According to Article 1 of the CAS mediation rules, CAS mediation is a non-binding and informal process. It is based on an agreement to mediate, where both parties commit to negotiating in good faith, with the assistance of a CAS mediator, in an effort to resolve the sports-related dispute.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In contrast, arbitration is a more formal process that resembles a private judicial proceeding. In arbitration, the parties present their cases to one or more arbitrators, who then issue a binding decision. While arbitration follows established procedures and is more structured than mediation, it is still less formal than a courtroom trial.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For CAS, ordinary arbitration is used to resolve contractual disputes or claims of wrongdoing, while the appeal procedure handles disputes arising from decisions made by sports governing bodies, where CAS is designated as the appellate body.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW93698358 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW93698358 BCX8\">CAS mediation rules<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW93698358 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The CAS mediation rules were adopted under Articles S2 and S6, paragraphs 1 and 10, of the Code of Sports-related Arbitration, which is governed by the International Council of Arbitration for Sport.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You might be wondering when mediation should be used. Article 1, paragraph 2 of the CAS mediation rules clarifies that mediation is generally used to resolve contractual disputes. However, certain types of disputes are excluded from CAS mediation, such as those related to disciplinary matters like doping, corruption, and match-fixing. That said, there is an exception: in specific circumstances, and with the explicit agreement of the parties, disputes related to other disciplinary matters can be submitted to CAS mediation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A mediation agreement is a formal agreement in which the parties agree to submit a sports-related dispute to mediation. This agreement can be part of a contract as a mediation clause or a separate, standalone document.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">When a mediation agreement calls for mediation under the CAS Mediation Rules, these rules become an integral part of the agreement. However, as stated in Article 3, paragraph 2, the parties may also choose to apply other procedural rules, provided they mutually agree.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW81866460 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW81866460 BCX8\">How to <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW81866460 BCX8\">commence<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW81866460 BCX8\"> mediation?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW81866460 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To begin mediation proceedings, a party must submit a written request to the CAS Court Office. This request must include the required details as outlined in the CAS rules. Once the mediation start date is confirmed, both parties are required to pay their share of the administrative costs and the advance of costs within a set time frame.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If the parties do not agree on a mediator from the list of CAS-approved mediators, the CAS President will appoint one after consulting with the parties. The appointed mediator will remain impartial and independent of both parties.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">During the mediation, parties may be represented or assisted. If a party is being represented, the other party, the mediator, and CAS must be notified in advance. Additionally, the representative must have full written authorization to settle the dispute on behalf of the party they represent.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"TextRun SCXW68364689 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW68364689 BCX8\">Conduct of mediation<\/span><\/span><span class=\"EOP SCXW68364689 BCX8\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As outlined in Article 8, unless the parties have agreed to a specific procedure, the mediator determines how the mediation will proceed, following the CAS Mediation Guidelines. Upon appointment, the mediator will establish the terms and timeline for submissions from each party.
