Season 4 Episode 8 - The Ratione Temporis

Back from the holidays, we kick off the new decade with two separate discussions that involve timing: first, the temporal application of investment treaties [TIME 10:02] inspired by a recent arbitral award, secondly when and how can a state’s failure to respect obligations in a commercial arbitration award be the basis for an investment treaty claim [TIME 32:17]? Happy Fun Time then is about our (arbitration-related) resolutions for the new year [TIME 56:30].
