TAS - Ayuda legal aplicación para los clubs de futbol 2023 ( ingles)

Legal Aid Application Form for Football Clubs as from 1 February 2023 Legal aid may be granted pursuant to the Guidelines on Legal Aid before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (www.tas-cas.org). It is important that the Applicant thoroughly review these Guidelines before completing this Form. Legal aid may be exceptionally granted to any football club affiliated to a member association of FIFA and belonging to the club category IV of the FIFA table on the categorization of clubs for training compensation. The applicant club shall demonstrate with written evidence that it belongs to the club category IV at the time the request for legal aid is filed and that its financial situation does not allow it to cover any arbitration costs, i.e. that the obligation to cover such costs would affect its ability to punctually fulfil its payment obligations towards employees or social/tax authorities. Legal aid may be granted only in disputes between clubs or between clubs and federations exclusively. Legal aid will be denied if it is obvious that CAS has no jurisdiction or the Applicant’s claim or grounds of defence are frivolous or vexatious. Other grounds for denying certain aspects of legal aid are set out in the Guidelines, including the Applicant not taking all necessary steps to reduce costs, including requesting a Sole Arbitrator. The Applicant must supply all supporting information and documents required to evidence the Applicant’s financial situation and update such information and documents if the Applicant’s financial situation changes. All information and documents provided will be treated as confidential. USE THIS FORM TO APPLY For help to fill out this form: - speak to your lawyer, or
