Summary KV Mechelen will start in Brussels: what are the possible scenarios?

Belgian football starts Today the trial of KV Mechelen, which is due to matchvervalsing a degradation above the head. The club will through the burgerrechter delay in the timing of the tuchtzaak for the football and finds her rights violated. What are the possible scenarios? 1 Court declares itself incompetent

Some top notch lawyers consider the chance that the court is unauthorized will explain, and do not want to intervene to the procedure to slow down. The burgerrechter can judge that it is a tuchtzaak of a private organization - the football association - the clubs, if the members signed the rules and their own bodies for disputes obey. It is no different with a school rules where students tuchtstraffen risk or a postzegelbond that a private attorney would appoint. Cru said it burgerrechter: “figure it out yourself, men.”

2 Court sees no urgency

The court can have jurisdiction, but the urgency to have the procedure immediately to stop using summary judgment to reject because he or she has the rights of the defence are not violated eight. The court may consider that the period provided by the football association to conclude in a procedure is sufficient. The defense also knew for much longer that the case went avoid, and in the case of the bondsprocureur all relevant documents on which the parties can defend themselves. The disputes committee may, thus, the merits of the case handle.

3 Right turn procedure football stop

The court might have ears to the arguments of KV Mechelen and decide that the bond procedure should stop. The bond a statement for 30 June may have forgotten. You may need the belgian football association, even the end of the judicial investigation to wait, which can take years. Mechelen also risk then degradation by the statute of limitations of eight years for matchfixing. Also, the Pro League, Mechelen still exclude on the basis of the internal rules of procedure that the professional clubs, to connect to the burgerrechter. All you can also line challenge.

conclusion: it remains to be seen if the judge in interlocutory proceedings decided. Possible following the ruling Friday, but if that was only in the course of next week, his advocacy for the royal belgian football association is already started. Also can the involved parties to appeal against the decision of the court in summary proceedings. That procedure works slower. When KV Mechelen is uneven, it is difficult the profession is still treated to a statement of the bond and, possibly, the Belgian Court of arbitration for Sport (BAS).
