Art. R31: Notifications and Communications
All notifications and communications that CAS or the Panel intend for the parties shall be made through the CAS Court Office. The notifications and communications shall be sent to the address shown in the arbitration request or the statement of appeal, or to any other address specified at a later date.
All arbitration awards, orders, and other decisions made by CAS and the Panel shall be notified by courier and/or by electronic mail but at least in a form permitting proof of receipt.
The request for arbitration, the statement of appeal and any other written submissions, printed or saved on digital medium, must be filed by courier delivery to the CAS Court Office by the parties in as many copies as there are other parties and arbitrators, together with one additional copy for the CAS itself, failing which the CAS shall not proceed. If they are transmitted in advance by electronic mail at the official CAS email address ([email protected]), the filing is valid upon receipt of the electronic mail by the CAS Court Office provided that the written submission and its copies are also filed by courier or uploaded to the CAS e-filing platform within the first subsequent business day of the relevant time limit, as mentioned above.
Filing of the above-mentioned submissions via the CAS e-filing platform is permitted under the conditions set out in the CAS guidelines on electronic filing.
The exhibits attached to any written submissions may be sent to the CAS Court Office by electronic mail, provided that they are listed and that each exhibit can be clearly identified; the CAS Court Office may then forward them by the same means. Any other communications from the parties intended for the CAS Court Office or the Panel shall be sent by courier or electronic mail to the CAS Court Office.
