The Nullification Committee of the International Arbitration Tribunal of the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes supported, by a majority, Agility’s appeal of the original arbitration decision while partially invalidating it, which confirms “Agility’s” right to file a claim again against the Iraqi government.
The disqualification panel agreed with Agility's defense that the original arbitration panel had wrongly shielded the actions of the Government of Iraq from scrutiny, and therefore did not consider whether the actions and omissions of the Government of Iraq violated the terms of protection afforded to Agility under the Kuwaiti Bilateral Investment Agreement. And Iraq.
Accordingly, and as a result of the original arbitral tribunal's failure to state the reasons on which it based its decision, it had committed a voidable error pursuant to Article 52 (1) (b), as well as Article 52 (1) (e) of the International Center for Settlement Convention. Investment disputes.
The committee stated that: “By focusing only on confiscation claims that arise solely as a result of the faithful implementation of the CMC order, the arbitral tribunal has failed to address or examine the manner in which the Government of Iraq has implemented the CMC order and, therefore, has grossly exceeded its authority.” "Superior."
The Committee commented helpfully with the following: “The Committee considers that this finding is reinforced by the fact that the failure to exercise jurisdiction to determine consistency with the provisions of the Kuwait-Iraq Bilateral Investment Agreement in relation to the expropriation claims also had multiplier effects on the other claims brought by the Company ( Agility, which ultimately led to none of them being resolved.”
As a result of this decision, Agility will now have the opportunity to re-file its claims before a newly formed arbitration panel at the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes that will determine Agility’s claims related to Iraq’s expropriation of the company’s investments, and its failure to grant Agility fair and equitable treatment. And its failure to give the company full protection and guarantee as required under the bilateral investment agreement between Kuwait and Iraq.
Following the issuance of the final annulment decision, Agility reported: “Three years ago, it was clear that the ICSID Arbitration Tribunal had failed. It has protected the actions of the Government of Iraq from any audit procedures, which clearly violates the basic guarantees against confiscation and unfair and inequitable behavior stipulated in the Bilateral Investment Agreement between Kuwait and Iraq, protection from which Agility benefited. We are aware that less than 5 percent of arbitration awards related to the Kuwait-Iraq Bilateral Investment Agreement have been invalidated, and we are very grateful to Professor Ricardo Ramirez (Chair) and Professor Hai Tak Shin for their courage in invalidating this false patent.”
