Pravni aspekti pandemije Covid-19 i uticaj na postupak pred košarkaškim arbitražnim tribunalom (BAT)

Abstract

Košarkaški arbitražni tribunal je međunarodno arbitražno telo oformljeno za rešavanje ugovornih sporova koji nastaju u košarkaškoj sportskoj industriji. BAT je već značajno slavljena arbitraža koja je dala veliki doprinos uređivanju pravnih odnosa u košarci kao profesionalnom sportu. Nove okolnosti u vidu globalne pandemije korona virusa stavile su ovu arbitražu na još jedan značajan ispit, a rezultati rada i odabranih rešenja i dalje podležu različitim mišljenjima i tumačenjima. BAT poseduje kvalitet organizacione nezavisnosti u odnosu na svetsku kuću košarke FIBA, ali postoji i rešava sporove u sadejstvu i pod pokroviteljstvom ove krovne organizacije. Efekti rada BAT-a pre pandemije su nesporni, a najčešće se njegove vrednosti opisuju kroz brzo, efikasno i sigurno rešavanje sporova sa jednostavnim BAT pravilima arbitraže koja podrazumevaju postojanje rešenja koja maksimalno ubrzavaju i pojednostavljuju sam postupak pred jednim arbitrom. Odluka Tribunala ima snagu presuđene stvari, a načelo po kojem se rešavaju sporovi je, u osnovi, načelo pravičnosti. Pre globalne pandemije korona virusa izgrađena je respektabilna praksa u rešavanju sporova, a slična praksa je nastavljena i na osnovu korišćenja uputstava koja su objavljena već u prvom dvomesečju pandemije. Upravo su ova pravila, njihovi efekti i opšti uticaj globalne pandemije na košarkašku sportsku industriju predmet istraživanja ovog rada.

The coronavirus global pandemic has endangered basketball as a professional sport. Contractual Obligations have been shaded by the uncertainty of the global situation, and in that sense, many questions arose. The Basketball Arbitral Tribunal offered some answers to the situation quickly and paved some directions. The Basketball Arbitral Tribunal is an international arbitration body formed to resolve contractual disputes arising in the basketball sports industry. The BAT is already a significantly celebrated arbitration that has given a great contribution to the regulation of legal relations in basketball as a professional sport. New circumstances in the form of a global Covid-19 pandemic have put this arbitration to another important test, and all the results of the work and the solutions offered in the BAT Covid-19 Guidelines are still subject to different opinions and interpretations. The BAT responded to the situation by publishing the BAT Covid-19 Guidelines, which are the main focus of this article. The effects of the BAT before the pandemic are indisputable, and most often its values are described through fast, efficient and safe dispute resolution with simple BAT rules of arbitration, which imply the existence of solutions that speed up and simplify the procedure, all built around many factors. Before the global coronavirus pandemic, a respectable practice in resolving disputes was built, and a similar practice was continued based on the use of instructions published in the first two months of the pandemic.
