Key legal question
Whether the CAS violated the appellant's right to be heard by failing to address a formal-defect argument about termination of employment contracts.
Extracted holding
No. The argument had not been validly and clearly raised; in any event, the CAS implicitly addressed it by finding the club's repeated non-performance caused the contract termination.
Extracted reasoning
The right to be heard requires examination of relevant and properly submitted arguments, but not of issues not effectively raised. Lack of express discussion is not a violation where the award's reasoning implicitly disposes of the point.
