Substantive Protections: Fair and Equitable Treatment and Expropriation
In this session, the panellists will discuss the arbitral jurisprudence and share practical insights regarding the interpretation and application of two core substantive protections contained in international investment agreements: the fair and equitable treatment (FET) obligation and the protection against unlawful expropriation.
Among other items, the panellists will discuss:
- The multi-dimensional nature of the FET standard, including the role of legitimate expectations and proportionality
- Test(s) for determination of indirect expropriations
- Practical relevance of the distinction between lawful and unlawful expropriations
- Interaction between host States’ right to regulate and the FET standard and protection against unlawful expropriation
