Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the CAS award could be challenged despite an alleged contractual waiver of appeal
Extrahierter Entscheid
The appeal was admissible because the waiver language did not meet the formal requirements for a valid waiver under Swiss law.
Extrahierte Begründung
A waiver of recourse against an international arbitral award is possible only under the strict requirements of Art. 192(1) PILA; the contractual wording invoked did not amount to a valid waiver.
