Summary of the case:
The Polish player Szymon Szewczyk and the American agency Entersport filed a claim against the Italian club S.S. Felice Scandone S.p.A. for outstanding salaries and agent fees. The player requested full payment of his salary for the 2011-2012 season, submitting that the club had breached a settlement agreement entered into by the parties by failing to pay the agreed outstanding amounts. Despite several invitations by the BAT, the Respondent did not file an answer to the request for arbitration within the set time limits. The Arbitrator decided to partially uphold the claim.
