Lausanne, 20th January – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) will have a temporary office in Sochi, to resolve legal disputes which may arise during the Olympic Games. This special tribunal, called the CAS ad hoc Division and that has operated at each edition of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games since 1996, will provide all participants at the Games with free access to justice rendered within time limits that keep pace with the competitions.

The tribunal for the Sochi 2014 Games will be presided over by Mr Michael Lenard (USA) and Ms Corinne Schmidhauser (Switzerland), and will include nine arbitrators in charge of settling any disputes related to the Games.

The CAS office in Sochi will be operational in from 28 January 2014 until 23 February 2014, and will be headed by the CAS Secretary General, Mr Matthieu Reeb.
Let’s hope they end up having lots of free time …
