I still think there is a decent chance that cooperation falls or stands with the substantive stuff. If a party fails to prove very serious allegations, they tend not to have the sympathy of the tribunal on ancillary points so can lose on everything. It was perhaps different at CAS because City so clearly did not provide many documents until right at the end.It must be difficult to decide where the line is drawn between a legitimate question and a vindictive fishing expedition. I really believe that the Mancini stuff going back 15 years was absurd and suggested bad faith from the PL.
That said, there is almost no chance there will be demonstrated bad faith against the PL so better for people to manage any such expectations.
