    In the Conclusion to their Chapter, they write as follows:<\/p>\n

    \u201cContractual stability and termination in Swiss football represent a delicate balance<\/p>\n

    between protecting the rights of players and safeguarding the interests of clubs.<\/p>\n

    Termination is a realistic possibility under certain conditions, and<\/p>\n

    Swiss law provides a structured approach to managing these situations.<\/p>\n

    However, as a result of the manner in which the CAS in various cases<\/p>\n

    but especially in the Matuzalem <\/em>case determines the positive interest, the player<\/p>\n

    has to compensate more than the damages which the former club actually suffered.<\/p>\n

    In doing so the CAS infringes the principles of Swiss law. This approach can no<\/p>\n

    longer be upheld, especially also after the Diarra <\/em>case.<\/p>\n

    Transfer fees in connection with the new contract are by no means to be<\/p>\n

    considered for the calculation of damages. The calculation of the compensation is<\/p>\n

    to be based on the difference between the terminated and the new player\u2019s contract<\/p>\n

    as well as under consideration of a compensation for acquisition costs of the former<\/p>\n

    club which have not been fully amortized due to the early termination of the<\/p>\n

    contract. This seems to be the one and only adequate solution to achieve the<\/p>\n

    balance between the contractual stability and the freedom of movement of players,<\/p>\n

    which is actually the purpose of the FIFA regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

    The Publication is available in two versions: a Paper Book version and an E-Book version.<\/p>\n
