Sport Arbitration Tribunal COC-organisational and procedural provisions

Danas se većina športskih sporova rješava pred arbitražnim sudovima. Sve prednosti arbitražnog sudovanja odavno su prepoznate u športu, pa je danas rijetkost da se spor vezan uz određeni šport nađe pred državnim sudom. Državni sudovi teško mogu pratiti razvitak i složenost odnosa koji nastaju u športu, pa su specijalizirane arbitraže sa stručnim i educiranim arbitrima idealno rješenje za ove vrste sporova. Športske arbitraže često imaju i obilježja tzv. prisilnih arbitraža (arbitrage obligatore, compulspry arbitration, Zwangsshiedsgericht), kojima se stranke moraju obratiti radi rješavanja određenih sporova. U radu se, nakon kratkog pojmovnog objašnjenja instituta arbitražnog sudovanja i športske arbitraže, daje prikaz postupka pred Športskim arbitražnim sudištem Hrvatskog olimpijskog odbora prema Arbitražnim pravilima Športskog arbitražnog sudišta pri Hrvatskom olimpijskom odboru.Today, most sports disputes are resolved before arbitration courts. All the advantages of the arbitration adjudication process have been recognisable for a long time in sport, so today it is rare that a dispute related to a certain sport comes before a state court. State courts with difficulty follow the development and complexity of relations which occur in sport. Therefore, specialised arbitrations with expert and educated arbitrators are the ideal solution to this type of dispute. Sport arbitrations often bear the characteristics of so-called compulsory arbitration ( arbitage obligatoire, Zwangsshiedsgericht) which parties must approach in order to resolve certain disputes. This paper, after a brief conceptual explanation of the institute of arbitration adjudication and sports arbitration, provides an overview of the procedure before the Croatian Olympic Committee’s Sport Arbitration Tribunal of the pursuant to the rules of the Sport Arbitration Tribunal of the Croatian Olympic Committee
