Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the CAS violated substantive public policy and pacta sunt servanda by upholding sporting sanctions despite the settlement agreement.
Decisione estratta
No. The settlement was treated as binding only for the monetary claim of the injured club, not for the disciplinary sanctions, which remained within FIFA's power.
Motivazione estratta
Pacta sunt servanda is violated only when an arbitral tribunal refuses to apply a contractual clause it accepts as binding, or vice versa. Here, the tribunal accepted the settlement for the indemnity issue and independently reviewed the sporting sanctions; there was no contradiction.
