BAT 0121/10 (Roberts vs. K.A.E. Olympiacos, Papadakis)

Summary of the case:
The American player Lawrence E. Roberts III filed a claim against the Greek club K.A.E. Olympiacos and the agent Konstantinos Papadakis for outstanding salaries and the cash value of certain amenities and benefits. The player requested full payment of his salary for the 2007-2008 and the 2008-2009 seasons, submitting that the club had unilaterally breached the employment contract by releasing the player before the 2007-2008 season started. In its Answer, the club argued that it had entered into a termination agreement with the player (via his agent, Mr. Papadakis) and had made the payments agreed upon thereunder. The Arbitrator decided to dismiss the claim in its entirety.
