What is a C-SAR dispute?
The Belgian Centre for Sports Arbitration (“C-SAR”) is a specific section of CEPANI, the Belgian Centre for Arbitration and Mediation (“CEPANI”). C-SAR administers independently, in accordance with the C-SAR Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) and its annexes (the “Annexes”), arbitration procedures in the field of sport.
Each sports federation who wishes to add a C-SAR arbitration clause to its rules shall notify the C-SAR. Subject to prior acceptance by the C-SAR, the specific rules of procedure for that Sports Federation shall be set out in Appendix IV of these Rules. In the absence of prior acceptance by C-SAR, the specific rules of procedure adopted by a Sports Federation shall not be applicable to arbitration proceedings introduced in application of these Rules.
