    Tribunal Arbitral du Sport Court of Arbitration for Sport Arbitration CAS 2016/A/4544 Al Ain FC v. Sunderland AFC, award of 30 January 2017 Panel: Mr Ivaylo Dermendjiev (Bulgaria), Sole Arbitrator Football Entitlement of a club to receive payment of a contingent fee pursuant to a transfer agreement Interpretation of a contractual clause of a transfer agreement The interpretation of a clause of an agreement must be carried out according to the general rules of contract interpretation. In this respect, it is necessary to make reference to Article 18(1) of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The real and common intention of the parties must be identified and interpreted based on the principle of confidence. This principle implies that a party’s declaration must be given the sense its counterparty can give to it in good faith, based on its wording, the context and the concrete circumstances in which it was expressed. In this regard, however the immediate interpretation of the literal meaning of the relevant clause is the first step, attention should be paid to other factors and interpretative tools, too i.e. all relevant circumstances of the case - namely the negotiations and any subsequent conduct of the parties -, the wording of the entire agreement and the review of all means of evidence. I. THE PARTIES 1. Al Ain Football Club (“Al Ain” or the “Appellant”) is an Emirati football club having its office seat Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Appellant is affiliated to the United Arab Emirates Football Association (the “UAEFA”).

According to the CAS case law and the FIFA Statutes, the FIFA’s Single Judge has jurisdiction to issue a decision on behalf of the FIFA Players’ Status Committee. 2. Article 337d of the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO) grants the right to the employer to get a compensation for damages due to the termination of the contract by the employee in case of unjustified non-appearance at or leaving of the working place. The amount of the compensation shall be at least equal to one quarter of one month salary but the employer shall be entitled to compensation for additional damages. 3. Whoever claims damages must prove the damage; according to the Swiss Federal Tribunal and the CAS case law this amount corresponds to the maximum amount which the creditor can claim for. If the existence or the amount of the damage cannot be proved, article 42 paragraph 2 CO authorises the court to make its decision in equity and on the basis of the ordinary course of events.
