According to the Ticats, an arbitrator has ruled in favour of the team in the Chris Williams case.

General Manager and Head Coach Kent Austin has issued the following statement:

"We are pleased that the independent arbitrator has reached this logical and obvious conclusion. As we have stated all along, and the arbitration result validated, Chris has a legal and binding contract with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. We're eager to put this matter behind us and continue our preparations for the 2013 season."

As a result of the arbitrator's ruling, there will be no penalties or fines issued to the team.
