Court of Arbitration for Sport at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation

The modern sport if it strives for the further progressive development can not exist out of the bounds of the common legal framework.

Today it is not the time when it is sufficient in the area of sport to use «the inner order and inner laws».

The basic principles of the law are pertinent to the area of sport. It is the right of every person for the examination of the case in the court, the right for the impartial hearings, for the assumption of innocence and so on.
The state courts are overloaded by the cases. They also as the common arbitral courts are not always prepared for the sport specificity and spirit, fast decision making. Sport demands it.

The sport bodies of the different levels nowadays have created the successfully operating arbitral courts: International Court of Arbitration in  Lausanne, the Arbitration Commissions of Sport in  Belgium, Germany, Spain, Italy, France and other countries of the world.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport was created at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation in October, 2003.

This institution is a standing independent third-party court operating in conformity with the Federal Law No. 102-ФЗ of July 24, 2002 «On Third-Party Courts in the Russian Federation», and the Federal Law No. 5338-1 of July 7, 1993 «On International Commercial Arbitration», and undoubtedly it has all the objective advantages of the  arbitration settlement of the disputes.
