Investment tribunals increasingly encounter serious misconduct in the course of resolving an investment dispute. Sometimes the misconduct occurred prior to arbitration and other times in the course of the arbitral proceedings themselves. It is far from clear how tribunals should, and indeed may, sanction any such wrongdoing, yet simply ignoring it might leave the investment system vulnerable to serious abuse.

This evening conference will crystalize the issues and advance the debate, bringing together academic and non-academic perspectives, to focus on what tribunals can do to fight back.
