Sports lawyer Anna Antseliovich in an interview with the “Championship” assessed the prospects of the Russian runner Nikita Mazepin succeed in a lawsuit with his former Haas team.
The American Formula 1 team terminated the contract with the Russian, who had been racing for it since 2021, in early March. Mazepin reported that Haas had not paid him a salary for 2022.
– All wage obligations are strictly regulated in the employment contract. Non-payment of wages in any legal system is a rather serious violation on the part of the employer. Before the termination of the contract, of course, everything must be repaid – unless there are clauses in the agreement. For example, there was a disciplinary fault on the part of the athlete, which caused damage to the employer – in this case, the athlete may be required to compensate everything. If there was no such thing, it is the responsibility of the employer to fully cover all salary arrears at the time of termination of the contract.
What are Nikita’s chances in court? Any court strictly monitors salary cases. I don’t know which court will consider Mazepin’s case. Also, I don’t know which court is mentioned in the employment contract. The same CAS ensures that the employee is not deceived – he pays all due wages, – said Anceliovich.
