Lagard re Sports - Media Release Following the decision by CAF to unilaterally cancel its agency agreement with Lagard re Sports, Lagard re, in accordance with the contractual provisions, initiated emergency arbitration proceedings aimed at keeping the contract in force pending the arbitration on merits before the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Geneva.
On December 13th, while the emergency arbitrator rejected these interim measures, he did not rule on the merits of the case as this was not within his remits.
Consequently, the outcome of the emergency proceedings does not in any way predetermine the outcome of any future arbitration on the merits of the case.
Under these conditions, Lagard re will steadfastly continue as planned to proceed with the broader, more encompassing arbitration (arbitration on merits) to obtain compensation from CAF.
Lagard re Sports is an established, respected company that has served CAF for many years with efficiency, loyalty and dedication, working collaboratively to grow African football and bringing the games to thousands of new fans each year. As such, the Lagard re group deems the actions of CAF to be unwarranted and will take all action at its disposal to defend its interests, mitigate the impact of any immediate harm to its business and protect the interests of its shareholders.
