Sport Resolutions and ITIA: the trial of Simona Halep will be held behind closed doors

According to Fanatik, the two organizations have announced that the trial will be held behind closed doors and will not release details of the hearings.

“As an independent body, we cannot comment on any aspect of cases, whether those cases are pending, pending or completed.

This is the same consistent approach we take to all external inquiries on any matter, and I hope you can appreciate it.

We thank you in advance for your understanding and apologize for not being able to provide you with further assistance” – Sports resolutions for Fanatic.

“The process of the independent tribunal is confidential and will be conducted behind closed doors. We regret that we cannot be more open at this stage of the process” – ITIA for the cited source.

What awaits Simona Halep: the hearing, the announcement of the decision and a possible appeal to CAS

Christian Jura, sports law expert and CNCD Secretary of State, explained what will happen next in the trial of Simona Halep.

“This is not something exceptional, it is something normal. It will be secret. Including at other sports grounds, the process is confidential. This is different from trials that take place in a national jurisdiction where, in principle, anyone can enter the courtroom and help.

Here, in essence, the parties decide whether they want the process to be open, in English “open hearing” or secret. This is a procedural issue, that’s all.

The steps are simple. As the hearing approaches, the Sport Resolutions tribunal has yet to rule. So, after hearing, declaring and receiving a decision, it can appeal within 21 days to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. But this is after she learns about the decision and will be dissatisfied with this decision” – Christian Jura for Fanatic.
