Joel Dahlquist Cullborg has recently defended a doctoral dissertation in international law at Uppsala University. The topic of his research is the use of commercial arbitration rules in investment treaty disputes.
In a lunch discussion, Joel and Professor Eric De Brabandere will talk about challenges to investment treaty arbitration awards in the Svea Court of Appeal. There has been a number of such cases, in which parties have asked the Court to set aside treaty-based arbitral awards. They will explore questions such as: How has the court approached these cases? Is there, or should there be, a difference between awards based on investment treaties and awards based on contracts?
