Saadia and Joel have been to Vienna for the UNCITRAL Working Group and took the chance to talk to Julian Arato about shareholder claims in investment treaty arbitration [TIME 8:48]. Brian quizzes the others about double-hatters (Joel calls in without a microphone - sorry for sound quality), [TIME 32:58] while HFT is a nerd bonanza on fonts and formatting in legal writing [TIME 1:00:33].
The paper that Julian co-wrote for the Academic Forum is here.
On this full-length feature of a podcast episode, Joel talks to Bruno Gelinas-Faucher about the involvement of ICJ judges in investor-state arbitration, prompted by a recent report from the International Institute for Sustainable Investment [TIME 11:01]. For our series on places of arbitration Brian interviews Yasmin Mohammad about the recent English-speaking commercial court in Paris, but since he finally gets to talk to a third party funder, he asks a few questions about that too [TIME 47:50]. Taking things down a few notches, Happy Fun Time deals with how to dress to impress: how should we approach arbitration's silent dress codes [TIME 1:20:00]?
Also mentioned in the episode:
Bruno mentions the article The Revolving Door in International Investment Arbitration, written by Malcolm Langford, Daniel Behn and Runar Hilleren Lie.
