    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”).
