AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the appellant's cassation appeal against a sports arbitration tribunal's decision. The court held that Article 15(9) of the Qualified Sports Law mandates absolute statutory succession of all rights and obligations, including past disciplinary liabilities, upon a club's transition to a joint-stock company. Consequently, the new entity cannot contractually exclude responsibility for prior corrupt acts committed by the predecessor organization.
