Bilateral investment treaties
Investment Treaty Arbitration
Arbitration that arises out of investment treaties (whether bilateral or multilateral). Investment treaty arbitrations are usually commenced by investor claimants against respondent states or state-entities. Investment treaty arbitration may be contrasted with commercial arbitration and sports arbitration.
Seat of arbitration
The jurisdiction in which an arbitration is deemed legally to take place and the award issued, regardless of the geographical location of the tribunal and/or any hearings. The seat also determines the legal system that, generally, provides the arbitration’s procedure and which courts have supervisory jurisdiction over the arbitration.
