Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture 2016: 'Investment Arbitration and EU Law' - Juliane Kokott

The 2016 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture will be given by Advocate General Juliane Kokott under the title 'Investment Arbitration and EU Law' and will take place in the Faculty of Law (LG17).

The negotiation of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has dramatised legal controversies around investor-state dispute resolution mechanisms. The European Commission's ambitious proposal for an Investor Court System also highlights potential conflicts between, on the one hand, structures and mechanisms for investor-state dispute resolution, and on the other hand, the EU legal order and its judicial architecture. In her 2016 Mackenzie-Stuart Lecture, Advocate General Juliane Kokott will analyse current practices and future trends in investment arbitration and the legal conflicts they may create on three levels: intra-EU bilateral investment treaties (BITs); extra-EU BITs between the Member States and third countries; and future BITs between the EU and non-Member States.
