Sport Resolutions confirmed the arbitrator’s directions in writing with the parties and kept the process to time.
Sport Resolutions also significantly reduced the cost to the Parties by providing neutral procedural guidance and facilitating all communication between the parties, which significantly reduced costs. Total time recorded by Sport Resolutions was 54 hours.
A total bill of £3400, split three ways between the parties at £1133 each. A similar service would have cost closer to £10,000 on the commercial market.
The dispute was settled in 16 weeks from first contact with Sport Resolutions to distribution of the final decision. The arbitrator handed down a final binding decision which upheld the athletes’ lengthy ban. All parties felt the process had been extremely fair and reported a very positive experience. The defendant’s legal representatives were especially complimentary about the speed, cost and quality of the process.
