CCJ Judge reappointed to Court of Arbitration for Sports

Justice Winston Anderson, a Judge of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), has been reappointed as a member of the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), a global body headquartered in Lausanne, Switzerland. The appointment was made by the International Council of Arbitration for Sports.
Justice Anderson, who has been a Judge of the CCJ since 2010, will serve on the CAS until 2026. He is also the Chair of the CCJ Academy for Law, and was first appointed to CAS in 2021.
The CAS was established in 1984, following its ratification under the leadership of then President Kéba Mbaye and Secretary General Gilbert Schwaar, to treat with, and settle, disputes related to sports through arbitration. The CAS primarily determines two types of disputes, the first being commercial disputes concerning issues such as contracts and sponsorship, and the second being disciplinary matters.
Justice Anderson’s experience in sports law is quite extensive. This Jamaican national is the author of the “Governance by International Sports Bodies: Time to Call Time-Out?” published by the 2023 Sports Law Review. He was also appointed Chairman of the Disciplinary and Ethics Committees of Cricket West Indies in 2017, and became a Member of the International Cricket Council’s Code of Conduct Commission (ICC) in 2018. In January 2023, his appointment as a Member of the ICC Dispute Resolution Committee was renewed.
The CCJ has since commended Justice Anderson on his sterling achievement, as he continues to represent the Caribbean in his various roles.
