IAReporter’s Lisa M. Bohmer has just reported on the constitution of the ad hoc Committee in annulment proceedings initiated by SIA North Star Peteris Pildegovics in ICSID Case ARB/20/11 against the Kingdom of Norway, where Savoie Arbitration represents the investor-claimants alongside Professor Mads Andenas KC.
The committee is composed of Lucinda Low, Professor Dr. Maxi Scherer and Andrea Bjorklund.
As Lisa M. Bohmer reports: “While all-female panels remain the exception in ICSID arbitrations, this is not the first time that an investor-state claim is heard by three women: the first all-female ICSID ad hoc committee was constituted in March 2021 in Cementos La Union v. Egypt, while the first all-female ICSID tribunal was formed a few months later, in Quanta Services v. Peru. Outside of the ICSID context, three women had previously been named to hear the Webuild v. Dominican Republic UNCITRAL arbitration.”
