An introduction and more background information to this table can be found in the paper "Precedent in Investment Treaty Arbitration: The Empirical Backing" by Jeffery P. Commission. All of the Tables, A-E, will be updated on a regular basis, and posted on TDM. In addition, at the conclusion of the second phase (a qualitative analysis of how precedents have been treated by investment treaty tribunals over time), a collection of fully searchable issue-based precedents tables that will chart decisions on contentious issues over time will be available, also on TDM. At present, the issue-based tables are as follows: Table F: Umbrella Clauses; Table G: MFN Treatment; Table H: Waiting Periods; Table I: Fair and Equitable Treatment; and Table J: State of Necessity.
About TDM TDM (Transnational Dispute Management): Focusing on recent developments in the area of Investment arbitration and Dispute Management, regulation, treaties, judicial and arbitral cases, voluntary guidelines, tax and contracting. Visit www.transnational-dispute-management.com for full Terms & Conditions and subscription rates, Open to all to read and to contribute Our aim is for TDM to become the hub of a global professional and academic network. Therefore we invite all those with an interest in Investment arbitration and Dispute Management to contribute. We are looking mainly for short comments on recent developments of broad interest. We would like where possible for such comments to be backed-up by provision of in-depth notes and articles (which we will be published in our 'knowledge bank') and primary legal and regulatory materials. Please contact Editor-in-Chief Thomas Wälde at [email protected] if you would like to participate in this global network: we are ready to publish relevant and quality contributions with name, photo, and brief biographical description - but we will also accept anonymous ones where there is a good reason. We do not expect contributors to produce long academic articles (though we publish a select number of academic studies either as an advance version or an TDM-focused republication), but rather concise comments from the author's professional ’workshop’. TDM is linked to OGEMID, the principal internet information & discussion forum in the area of oil, gas, energy, mining, infrastructure and investment disputes moderated by Thomas Wälde.
