Article 23

Players’ Status Committee

1. The Players’ Status Committee shall adjudicate on any of the cases described under article 22 c) and f) as well as on all other disputes arising from the application of these regulations, subject to article 24.

2. The Players’ Status Committee has no jurisdiction to hear any contractual dispute involving intermediaries.

3. In case of uncertainty as to the jurisdiction of the Players’ Status Committee or the Dispute Resolution Chamber, the chairman of the Players’ Status Committee shall decide which body has jurisdiction.

4. The Players’ Status Committee shall adjudicate in the presence of at least three members, including the chairman or the deputy chairman, unless the case is of such a nature that it may be settled by a single judge. In cases that are urgent or raise no difficult factual or legal issues, and for decisions on the provisional registration of a player in relation to international clearance in accordance with Annexe 3, article 8, and Annexe 3a, the chairman or a person appointed by him, who must be a member of the committee, may adjudicate as a single judge. Each party shall be heard once during the proceedings. In the case of the international clearance of a player the former association will be heard upon receipt of the ITC request (cf. Annexe 3, article 8.2 paragraphs 3 and 4). Decisions reached by the single judge or the Players’ Status Committee may be appealed before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
