Dispute Resolution Secretariat (Tribunal)
Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code
The Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code ("the Code") outlines the procedural rules under which all disputes submitted to SDRCC must take place.
Notice
The Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code is currently being revised, with amendments expected to come into force on January 1, 2027. These revisions will include changes to provisions relating to the 2027 Canadian Anti-Doping Program and to those governing reviews and appeals under the Canadian Program to Prevent Competition Manipulation (CPPCM). |
The Code is an essential resource for parties, mediators and arbitrators, as well as Dispute Resolution Secretariat staff.
It is highly recommended that parties consult the Code to better understand their rights and obligations before, during and after proceedings. Some of the important aspects of dispute resolution procedures addressed in the Code are: jurisdiction of the SDRCC, confidentiality, timelines, appointment of arbitrators, selection of mediators, settlements and awards, costs, etc.
The 2025 Canadian Sport Dispute Resolution Code (effective April 1, 2025) is available in the related downloads section.
