The controversial precedent that led Barça to go before ordinary justice

The measure cautelar by part of the Central Court of the Contentious Official of Madrid that has benefited to Robert Lewandowski when raising him the sanction of three parties after the facts occurred in the meeting in front of Osasuna has woken up again the controversy on the intervention of the ordinary justice in front of a sanction netamente of sportive character. However, it is not the first time that the FC Barcelona resorts a similar measure by this road.

Already previously, the Catalan entity had attended in front of an ordinary court in search of a profit cautelar. This took place in the year 2002 with the incident of the cochinillo launched by part of the fans of the Camp Nou when Luis Figo visited the feudo Barcelona already like player of the Real Madrid for which perhaps has been one of the hottest editions of the Classical, marked by the 'betrayal' of the Portuguese when leaving to the white team.

The fact caused that the Committee of Competition dictated a sanction to contest the following two parties like venue to enclosed door and a monetary penalty of 4.000 euros. Later, the Barça tried to resort it by means of the Committee of Appeal of the Real Spanish Federation of Football. The alegatos would be desestimados, what would carry again to the club to resort in front of another instance: the Spanish Committee of Sportive Discipline.

This organism, that for then was a dependency of the Upper Council of Sports (CSD), predecessor of the Administrative Court of the Sport (TAD), also would finish ratifying the sanction, by what to the Barça only subtracted him attend in front of the ordinary justice. This action would benefit to the club with a measure cautelar. With her, no only the team could follow playing his parties in the Camp Nou but the sanction never would do effective.

The favourable measure to the Barça

This case would cause a reform in the rule of the Federation, that from now on would not impose the closing of stadiums like possible sanction, but these would be netamente of economic character. Later, the Barcelona only had to disburse the 4.000 corresponding euros to the measure dictated by the Committee of Competition, seating besides a precedent in the development of this type of actions.
