As reported earlier (see our LinkedIn post: https://lnkd.in/eCe-BHqR), in a preliminary ruling of 1 August 2025, the EU Court of Justice ruled that arbitral awards, such as those issued by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), cannot automatically be considered binding in EU Member States when EU public policy is at stake.

In their recent contribution in De Juristenkrant of 24 september 2025, our dispute resolution counsel Benjamin Magnus and associate Marie-Julie Kormoss discuss the ECJ judgment. They explore the broader implications for (sports) arbitration and explain how the judgment confirms the role of national courts as gatekeepers of fair dispute resolution.
