My defense to this ridiculous penalty is to say, OK, take the salary for the _next_ year. Given that it amounts to zero, not toooooo bad. Besides, even with an arbitration clause in the employment contract, this is as close to unenforceable as you can get. If laws counted, that is. As soon as Vino, or Moreni, or Mayo takes it to court, laws will count. Court you say? Court!? TAS is as far from a court of law as you can imagine. I'm not sure what TAS is, but they don't have to challenge the contract within the confines of sport. They can challenge it in a real court, using real contract law, with a real judge presiding. With a whole year's salary on the line, it would be worth challenging the contract as seriously as possible. TAS = CAS = unmitigated abomination stillborn monster pseudo-arbitration institution. Most courts in most countries will enforce an employment contract that provides for dispute resolution by private arbitral panels. Sadly, somehow the TAS is recognized as such. Courts will seldom find it interesting to deprive parties of the right to settle matters outside the court. Yet there remains the final element - confirmation of an arbitral award - that can allow for some play in courts. It will take a fullly developed TAS matter, then its aftermath, and tons of money, before any court will even begin to consider the law involved. However, my sense is that riders think too individually and so won't consider challenging the overall structure collectively. |
