Lausanne, 16 August 2018 – The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has opened a temporary office

in Jakarta, on the main site of the XVIII Asian Games. It will operate every day until the games close

on Sunday, 2 September 2018.

Around 12,000 athletes are expected to participate in the Asian Games which will begin on 18 August

2018 and last for 16 days. The temporary CAS office in Jakarta has been created to ensure that

participants have free access to justice rendered within time limits that keep pace with the competitions.

In accordance with the Arbitration Rules for the Asian Games, the ICAS, an independent body under

the aegis of which the CAS operates, elected its member Michael Lenard (USA) to serve as President

of the Division and selected six CAS arbitrators to form the tribunal: Jahangir Beglari (Iran), Xianhue

Bai (China), Idwan Ganie (Indonesia), Enrico Ingles (Philippines), Anthony Lo Surdo (Australia) and

Yuri Yagi (Japan). The office in Jakarta will be headed by the CAS Secretary General, Matthieu Reeb.

Any participant or sports entity wishing to refer a dispute to the ad hoc Division must submit an

application form to the temporary CAS Office in Jakarta. The President of the ad hoc Division will

then appoint a panel composed of either one or three arbitrators and a hearing will be rapidly convened.

During the hearing all parties, witnesses and potentially affected third parties are invited to express

their legal arguments and produce evidence. The ad hoc Division generally renders its decisions within

24 hours. This is made possible by the specially designed logistics and organizational structures put in

place.

The CAS office in Jakarta will be operational from 14 August to 2 September 2018:

coming from 90 countries and handles approximately 600 cases per year.
