Vienna Rules

Vienna Rules are principles used in the arbitration of international sports disputes, particularly those involving the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). They provide a framework to guide fair and consistent resolution of conflicts, emphasizing principles like fairness, neutrality, and due process. The rules outline procedures for filing claims, evidence presentation, and hearings, ensuring that disputes are managed efficiently and transparently. Essentially, Vienna Rules aim to uphold integrity and uphold athletes’ and organizations’ rights within the sports arbitration system.
