Interpretation of manifest excess of powers with regard to jurisdictional and applicable law matters in the ICSID annulment proceedings within the me…
2019
There are a limited number of post-award remedies available, the annulment mechanism being the only plausible way to challenge the award. The annulment provision, Article 52, allows challenging the award with regard to the procedural matters only. The most frequently ground for annulment is “manifest excess of powers” as listed in the said provision. However it is not identified what errors of a Tribunal fall within this ground, as well as there is nothing about applicable law and jurisdictional matters in the provision. The thesis aims to analyze how the “manifest excess of powers” is interpreted and applied with regard to jurisdictional and applicable law matters. While some of the errors…

The Application of Foreign Law by Judicial and Non-Judicial Authorities: Any News?
2020
The treatment of foreign law by judicial and non-judicial authorities constitutes “a crucial issue” for the proper functioning of any Private International Law (PIL) system. Nevertheless, and despite its relevance, international harmonization on this issue is scarce and old –usually, previous to 1980-, and it combines both a limited scope and little application. Thus, the nature granted to foreign law before national authorities, the way to ascertain its content or to consider when it has been sufficiently proved usually vary significantly among jurisdictions and negatively affect the potential application of foreign law. This situation is widespread. And it is even noticeable in a legally …
Investment Arbitration and the Controverted Right of the Arbitrator to Issue a Separate or Dissenting Opinion
2018
Abstract Although dissents are not generally encouraged in international arbitration, they are a reality of investment treaty disputes. About one in five cases includes at least one separate or dissenting opinion. The ICSID Convention is rare among investment arbitration rules to expressly recognise the right of the arbitrator to attach his or her personal opinion to the award. Other investment arbitration rules are silent on the topic. And yet dissenting opinions are an established feature of several international courts and tribunals and their role is often viewed more benevolently than in investment arbitration. The article explores the perceived advantages and disadvantages of dissents …
“National Intervention” in International Commercial Arbitration
2019
The use of international arbitration increased over the years as a result of growth in international trade. How the State intervenes in the process concerning the appointment of arbitrators, provisional measures and evidence, and in the enforcement of the judgment after arbitration, is analysed. This State practice is however, difficult to change since international arbitration operates in a structure based on differing national terms, and not on uniform international standards.
Some Thoughts on the Independence of Party-Appointed Expert in International Arbitration
2021
Participation of experts in both commercial arbitration proceedings and investment arbitration proceedings is a well-known phenomenon for decades. A trend asking for parties-appointed experts to be independent is under development since the end of the twentieth century. The aim of this chapter is, at first, to make the point on this issue by analysing some of the most important current rules dedicated to international arbitration. The observation to be made is that the evolution described is not that developed so far in international arbitration. In a second time the need and relevance of this new requirement are addressed. It appears then that the meaning of this demand is far from being c…

Validācijas principa piemērošana, nosakot starptautiskam šķīrējtiesas līgumam piemērojamo likumu
2022
Lai nodrošinātu starptautiskajam šķīrējtiesas procesam labvēlīgu nacionālu vidi, ir attīstīta īpaša kolīziju norma – validācijas princips. Validācijas princips paredz: ja lietā ir potenciāli piemērojami vairāki likumi, validācijas princips uzliek tiesai vai šķīrējtiesai pienākumu piemērot likumu, kurš nodrošina šķīrējtiesas līguma spēkā esamību. Par spīti validācijas principa plašai piemērošanai starptautiskajā doktrīna un praksē, Latvijas tiesību sistēmā šāda kolīziju norma vēl netiek piemērota. Tādēļ pētījuma mērķis ir attīstīt validācijas principa kā kolīziju normas piemērošanas shēmu, ko piemērot tribunālu un tiesu praksē, tajā skaitā Latvijā. Darba uzdevumi ir (1) izpētīt validācijas p…
