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

06/17/20 • -1 min

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.

Season 4 Episode 15 - Who Wants to be an Arbitrator?

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 5 Episode 1 - The Season Opener

Something nice happening in 2020 - the Arbitration Station is back! Seated in London - responsibly spread out - we start off with the recent UK news that international law is not that important after all [TIME 14:20]. We then look back over the summer and discuss some recent developments in treaty-based renewable cases: is Romania the new Spain [TIME 28:42]? We also engage in perhaps the silliest Happy Fun Time in the history of silly Happy Fun Times: we’re casting the ISDS movie [TIME 49:03]! Who plays Schreuer? Who plays GKK? Listen in, we’re back!
