The "Kienass judgment"

A court ruling that points the way in sports law was named after his name and is often mentioned in the same breath as the Bosman ruling .

In 1992, Kienass was given an extraordinary notice from his former club EHC Dynamo Berlin and his new club was faced with a demand of around DM 140,000 in transfer fees. This transfer fee was challenged in court and ultimately declared illegal by the Federal Labor Court in 1996 .

After the Bosman ruling in 1995, which declared transfer fees to be unlawful when professional athletes switched to other EU countries after the end of their contract, this ruling also implemented a corresponding regulation for intra-German transfers into legal practice.
