@WSIKiel Looking very much forward to it as well - and also to expanding on the topic of investment arbitration (#ISDS) as guest lecturer later this semester!

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

Happy to „return“ to my alma mater and present on the #BGH’s decision to declare pending ICSID arbitrations inadmissible and the wider implications of #EUlaw overriding the #ICSID Convention. #arbitration

On the positive side: It's great to see what prestige states attribute to the participation in #moot court competitions! Happy to contribute as arbitrator to the #Jessup, #Vis, and #FDImoot - and to deal with such a challenge should it ever be raised against me.

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

Not the 1st time this was tried - although then with the #FDI #Moot (see Raja Sumrain v Kuwait, 2 Jan 2020: https://t.co/9MvGbIyc0i). Unfortunately, parties in #ISDS (mainly states) increasingly use such far-fetched #disqualification proposals as a strategic tool (to delay cases)

[Johannes H Fahner @JHFahner]

Does an arbitrator's participation in the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot (organised by claimant's counsel) jeopardize his/her impartiality?

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

@_seanstephenson Fortunately, that did not fly - but astonishing what parties even dare to raise. In an earlier challenge decision, a claimant went even further by relying on the fact that one of the arbitrators and Kuwait's counsel were both arbitrators in the same moot: https://t.co/9MvGbIyc0i

… duly noting of course that this constellation only arose late last year when the #Tethyan #annulment proceedings were instituted at #ICSID and, thus, more than 1.5 yrs after Mr Khan was appointed to the #Eiser Committee. #arbitration /7

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

Oh, the irony! #ICSID #Annulment Cmte Member Khan, who served as Co-Counsel for Claimant in #TethyanCopper v 🇵🇰 (https://t.co/qWXUvdPCKS), ie the party appointing #Alexandrov as arbitrator & #Brattle as expert, annuals #Eiser Award bc of Alexandrov’s relationship with Brattle /1

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

… the (continued) service of Mr Khan (former Attorney General of #Pakistan & currently nominated by Pakistan to the
#ICSID Panel of Arbitrators: https://t.co/qWXUvdPCKS) on the #Eiser #Annulment Committee seems unfortunate from a public perception perspective … /6

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

@IAReporter @al_philomela Alena, that's what I had looked at too. Additionally, the Decision on Jurisdiction & Liability suggests that the parties started to look into quantum issues latest in mid-2015 [177] while Mr Khan only withdrew as counsel in October 2015 [199].

[Tim Rauschning @TimRauschning]

#ICSID award in #ECT renewables dispute #Eiser v #Spain annulled due to arbitrator Alexandrov’s prior work as counsel in four cases where his clients had appointed the same damage experts (#Brattle) as Eiser. No mention that #Achmea was relevant for the #annulment decision.

Many thanks to @LexisNexis for the opportunity to share my thoughts on the @EU_Commission's reform proposal for the Energy Charter Treaty #ECT (see press release below) in a Q&A. 👉 These are my two cents: https://t.co/TXbuueuOGL
