The Swiss Federal Court has ruled in favor of the Schwender family in their case against the Swiss Super League, which is currently suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The ruling was handed down on April 14, and it marks a significant development for the Schwender family.
The Schwender family is one of the most prominent football clubs in Switzerland, known for its success in European competitions. They have won three Champions League titles and several other major trophies throughout their history. However, they have also faced criticism from fans and media outlets who believe that the club's financial struggles have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the suspension of the Swiss Super League, the Schwender family filed a lawsuit in March 2020, claiming that the league had violated their contracts with them. The court ultimately dismissed the lawsuit, but the Schwenders appealed to the Supreme Court.
On May 7, 2021, the Supreme Court ruled that the Swiss Super League was not entitled to suspend the club's contract because it had not breached any contractual obligations. The court ruled that the club had no right to suspend its contracts without good cause, and that the decision was based solely on the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ruling was met with widespread support from fans and media outlets, as well as from the Schwenders' supporters. Many people were disappointed that the court did not rule in favor of the Schwenders, but the ruling was seen as a victory for the club's shareholders and supporters.
Despite the setback, the Schwenders remain optimistic about the future of their club. They plan to continue supporting their team and hoping that the COVID-19 pandemic will eventually be behind them. As long as they can continue to compete at the highest level of football in Switzerland, they believe that they have a chance to achieve success once again.
