Tractor FC Clarifies Appeal Committee Ruling: A Case of Procedural Correction
In an official statement, Tractor Football Club has provided a detailed legal explanation of the recent corrective ruling issued by the Football Federation’s Appeal Committee. The club asserts that the decision was a purely procedural step to rectify a clerical oversight, with no substantive changes made to the original verdict.
A Matter of Procedure, Not Substance
The club’s statement emphasizes that the Appeal Committee’s action was fully in line with established regulations. Citing Article 21, Clause 15 of the Football Federation’s Disciplinary Code, the club clarified that judicial bodies are authorized to correct typographical errors in their rulings before an appeal is filed. According to Tractor FC, this is precisely what occurred—a minor inconsistency between the reasoning and the concluding parts of the document was identified and formally amended.
Upholding Legal Coherence
From a legal standpoint, the club explained that any judicial ruling must maintain logical consistency between its justificatory section (the reasoning and legal references) and its operative section (the final verdict). The original ruling had already contained clear reasoning that suspensions should only apply to the league in which the infraction occurred, and not to cup competitions. The corrective ruling simply aligned the final verdict text with this pre-existing legal argument, removing an unintended phrase.
Commitment to Institutional Integrity
Tractor FC expressed its appreciation for the professional approach of the Appeal Committee and reiterated its unwavering respect for the country’s football judicial bodies. The club’s statement concluded by affirming its continued commitment to the principles of justice, transparency, and the proper implementation of regulations, welcoming all decisions that are in full compliance with the law.
