Dr Heiner Kahlert and David Menz have published an article in the German sports law journal SpuRt 1/25 about the BAT and its new Payment Order Procedure. The article first provides an overview of the procedure before the BAT and its special features. It further explains the functioning of the Payment Order Procedure, which was introduced in February 2024. The Payment Order Procedure is comparable to default judgements before state courts (e.g. the European order for payment procedure) and is arguably the first of its kind in the context of international (sports) arbitration.
