28. VIII. Jurisdiction be settled by a DRC judge. The members of the DRC shall designate a DRC judge for the clubs and one for the players from among its members. The DRC judge may adjudicate in the following cases:
- i. all disputes up to a litigious value of CHF 100,000; ii. disputes relating to training compensation without complex factual or legal issues, or in which the DRC already has a clear, established jurisprudence; iii. disputes relating to solidarity contributions without complex factual or legal issues, or in which the DRC already has a clear, established jurisprudence. Disputes as per points ii. and iii. of this paragraph may also be adjudicated by the chairman or the deputy chairman as single judges. The DRC judge, as well as the chairman or deputy chairman of the DRC (as the case may be), is obliged to refer cases concerning fundamental issues to the chamber. The chamber shall consist of equal numbers of club and player representatives, except in those cases that may be settled by a DRC judge. Each party shall be heard once during the proceedings. Decisions reached by the DRC or the DRC judge may be appealed before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
