Justice Anderson returns to CAS
Kaieteur Sports – The Honourable Justice Winston Anderson, a Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and Chairman of the CCJ Academy for Law has been reappointed as a Member of the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) by the International Council of Arbitration for Sports (ICAS) for the period 2023 to 2026.
Justice Anderson, who hails from Jamaica and holds the third most senior position among the panel of Judges of the CCJ, has been a member of CAS since 2021.
Justice Winston Anderson
CAS, as the court is commonly known, is a global body established in 1984 following its ratification under the then leadership of President Mbaye and Secretary General Gilbert Schwaar to treat and settle disputes related to sports through arbitration.
The court typically handles two types of disputes: those of a commercial nature and those of a disciplinary nature.
The CAS is headquartered in Lausanne (Switzerland) and has courts in New York, Sydney, Australia and Lausanne.
Justice Anderson’s concurring opinion in the case of International Cricket Council v Dilhara Lokuhettige, delivered in 2021, played a pivotal role in establishing the ICC’s jurisdiction over athletes and other participants.
His argument, which relied on the concept of ‘participation obligation’ as an alternative to ‘contract,’ was emphatically upheld by the CAS on appeal on April 4, 2022.
He is the author of the recent publication “Governance by International Sports Bodies: Time to Call Time -Out?” published by the 2023 Sports Law Review.
