The Court of Appeal

Abstract

THE BCA RULING To remind you. In the summer of this year the BCA ordered the FEI to suspend its exclusivity clause (the clause preventing riders from events not approved by the FEI) with regards to the GCL, so that riders and horses were free to compete in this – not by the FEI approved – event. The BCA ordered the FEI further to inform riders, national federations and organized of such in writing before 31 August 2015. It is important to note that the exclusivity clause, till the moment the BCA decision was issued, prevented riders who competed in the events that were not approved by the FEI from taking part in any FEI event for a period of six (6) months.
