A judge has ruled the case between former Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia and agent Saif Alrubie be referred to the Football Association for arbitration.
The proceedings, which centre around Kurt Zouma's move from the Blues to West Ham in 2021, were the subject of a hearing in the High Court almost a fortnight ago.
Alrubie is pursuing a case against Granovskaia, who was a leading figure during Roman Abramovich's reign at Stamford Bridge, for her role in the non-payment of commission the agent says he is owed from Zouma's transfer.
Chelsea received a fee of £29.
