The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's decision that declared the employment contract with a foreign athlete invalid. The lower court had dismissed the athlete's claim for damages based on the club's unilateral termination, while the Supreme Court found the contract valid because the employer agreed to handle administrative visa requirements. The court ruled that the employer's failure to secure necessary permits did not automatically invalidate the agreement, as the employer had explicitly undertaken this obligation.
