05/12/20 • 82 min

We’re all in greater London but of course we’re still not in the same room. Video recording will have to do, as we discuss the recent Draft Code of Conduct for Adjudicators in Investor-State Dispute Settlement, issued by ICSID and UNCITRAL [TIME 13:22], as well as the law governing the arbitration agreement, based on a recent judgment from the Court of Appeal in London [TIME 39:58]. Happy Fun Time gives the episode its name - who wants to be an arbitrator (and how do you become one)? [TIME 01:01:33]

Season 4 Episode 14 - The Umbrella Clauses

We are still in isolation but at some point, we have to stop naming the episodes after that fact. This week, we talk about when and why to bifurcate arbitrations [TIME 09:24], umbrella clauses [TIME 37:20] and about motivating your team and colleagues in these complicated times [TIME 01:04:58].
Stay safe and healthy, arbitration friends!

Season 4 Episode 16 - The Season Finale (and the treaty to end all treaties)

With a decimated line-up of hosts, and a Corona-related delay in uploads, we close out the season on a strong note with Joel talking about the enforcement of awards that have been set aside [TIME 11:03] and Brian talking about the treaty to end all* treaties: the plurilateral EU treaty to terminate intra-EU investment BITs [TIME 29:08]. We close out the season with a discussion on domestic legal traditions and their influence in arbitration [TIME 45:07].
Thank you all for this season. Unless the world ends, we intend to be back later in 2020 with a fifth (!) season.
