Key legal question
Is a direct civil appeal admissible against the CIAS Bureau's decision on an arbitrator recusal request?
Extracted holding
No. A private body's decision on recusal in international arbitration cannot be directly appealed to the Federal Tribunal; review is only possible against the arbitral award for irregular composition.
Extracted reasoning
The CIAS is a private Swiss-law foundation, and under the CAS Code it has exclusive competence over recusal requests. Consistently with prior case law on private arbitral institutions, such decisions are not directly challengeable before the Federal Tribunal.
