The FIA International Court of Appeal met in Paris on Monday, November 7, 2005, in order to examine the appeal introduced by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile against the decision of the Italian National Court of Appeal concerning kart N°129, competitor Jean-Yves Berthon, driver Nathanael Berthon, following the event at La Conca run from 18 to 21 August 2005 and counting towards the 2005 CIK-FIA European Intercontinental A Championship.
Having heard the explanations of both parties and having examined the various documents and other evidence, the Court partially quashed the decision of the Italian National Court of Appeal. As a result, kart N°129 was excluded from the pre final run at La Conca for violation of Articles 1.3, 4.2 and 10 of the Karting Technical Regulations and 2.9.b of the General Prescriptions of the International Sporting Code.
The International Court of Appeal was presided over by Mr José Macedo e Cunha (Portugal), and composed of Mr Harry Duijm (Netherlands), Mr Christian Grosjean (Switzerland) and Mr Vassilis Koussis (Greece).
The full text of the International Court of Appeal's decision is available, on request, from the secretariat of the FIA International Court of Appeal in Paris.
