Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the CAS had jurisdiction under the contracts' dispute-resolution clauses.
Decisione estratta
No valid arbitration agreement was shown; the parties' contracts did not clearly exclude state अदालत jurisdiction in favor of CAS arbitration.
Motivazione estratta
The employment agreement contained both an exclusive CAS clause and a non-exclusive Swiss-court clause, creating an unresolved contradiction under the objective interpretation method. The later settlement agreement contained only a non-exclusive Swiss-court clause and, by its nature, replaced any earlier arbitration clause absent contrary intent. The wording did not establish a sufficiently clear waiver of state courts.
