Private / SME
Counselor Osama Al-Saidi confirmed that the Egyptian sports community is now in a state of diaspora and turmoil after the Supreme Constitutional Court’s ruling on the unconstitutionality of Article 69 of the Sports Law No. 71 of 2017 and the regulations of the Egyptian Sports Settlement and Arbitration Center issued by the Egyptian Olympic Committee’s decision No. 88 of 2017 amended by Resolution No. 2 of 2018, which we warned about in some of our articles nearly a year and a half ago, that many of the provisions of the current sports law are stigmatized by suspicions of unconstitutionality, and that the sports law needs a law.
Counselor Osama Al-Saidi stressed that with the issuance of the aforementioned Supreme Constitutional Court ruling, sports arbitration in Egypt has become without law, because with the issuance of the aforementioned ruling, the statute of the Center for Settlement and Arbitration, which includes the substantive and procedural rules applied by the center, has become non-existent.
Counselor Osama Al-Saidi added that after the issuance of the aforementioned Supreme Constitutional Court ruling, we have become in a state of a legislative vacuum organized to settle disputes in Egypt, and we now have nothing but a sports settlement and arbitration center without legal tools, or rather an arbitration center without arbitration!!.
Counselor Osama Al-Saidi stressed that he appeals to the sports community with the necessity of legal discipline and not panting behind fatwas and legal opinions that only serve their owners and their own interests without looking at the public interest, with the need to stress that the effects of the ruling on unconstitutionality do not extend to the legal centers that sought before the issuance of a judicial ruling with force. The order ruled by it is predicated on the legal texts that are declared invalid, with the exception of the ruling on unconstitutionality related to a criminal text.
