As a Swiss arbitration organization, decisions of the CAS can be appealed to the
Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.
[9] Appeals of arbitration decisions are generally not successful,
[10] and no evaluation of the merits is taking place and the evaluation is mainly based on whether procedural requirements have been met, and whether the award is incompatible with
public policy. As of March 2012 there have been seven successful appeals. Six of the upheld appeals were procedural in nature, and only once has the Federal Supreme Court overruled a CAS decision on the merits of the case. This was in the case of
Matuzalém, a Brazilian football player.

The
Federal Court of Justice of Germany ruled against the German speed-skater
Claudia Pechstein, recognising a lack of jurisdiction to revisit her case. The Federal Court ruled that CAS met the requirements of a court of arbitration according to German law and that CAS's independence from the parties was secured by the method of selecting arbitrators and the possibility to appeal to the Swiss Federal Tribunal.
