BAT 0346/12 (Fisher, U1st Sports Basket España S.L. v/ Fujian SBS Xunxing Basketbal Club., Ltd.)

Summary of the case:

The American/Spanish Player Joshua Lee Fisher and his Agency U1st Sports Basket España S.L. filed a claim against the Chinese Club Fujian SBS Xunxing Basketball Club for outstanding salaries and agency fees. The Player requested payment of all outstanding salaries for the 2012-2013 season, submitting that the Club had unjustly terminated the Contract. In its Answer, the Club argued that the termination was justified because the Player failed a physical examination, and that the Player had earned more with his new club than he would have earned for the same season had he stayed with the Club. The Arbitrator partially upheld the claim.
