2017 Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot Hosted at Suffolk University Law School Case Committee Each year's FDI Moot Case Committee begins its work the preceding June. Liaising with the FDI Moot's Board and Organisers, it develops a fact scenario and procedural background. Generally, the case evolves on the basis that the home and host State are parties to an IIA (BIT, MIT, etc), the New York Convention of 1958 and the Washington (ICSID) Convention of 1965.Generally, each year's case will involve one or two "procedural" issues (e.g. jurisdiction, admissibility, interim measures, disqualification of arbitrator) and one or two "substantive" issues (e.g. expropriation, denial of justice, discriminatory treatment, violation of fair and equitable treatment and/or full protection and security standards). The Case Committee submits its final draft to the FDI Moot Organisers and Board for approval at the end of the preceding year, and the case is then published in February each year. The Case Committee remains responsible for responding to any requests for clarification (if scheduled) between June and August of each year. The 2017 FDI Moot case considers how Mercuria, a State faced with a "greyscale" epidemic, has treated a foreign investor, patent-holder of the active ingredient in an effective greyscale treatment, by first breaching a supply agreement, which was the basis for the investor's production facility investments in Mercuria, and failing to enforce the consequent arbitration award and by then granting a compulsory license to a state-owned manufacturer. Bench Brief Committee Each year's FDI Moot Bench Brief Committee begins its work in March. It analyses the fact scenario and procedural background of the case and may submit confidential requests for clarification to the Case Committee (contemporaneously with the requests of the competing teams) and may liaise with the Case Committee and the Organisers regarding proposed responses to the requests. The FDI Moot's Bench Brief Committee submits its final draft of the Bench Brief to the Organisers one week before the memorial deadline each year. The Bench Brief Committee may submit a revised draft one week before the orals if it believes the teams' memorials have raised relevant, not previously considered arguments.

International Arbitration Moot Hosted at Suffolk University Law School

Case Committee Each year's FDI Moot Case Committee begins its work the preceding June. Liaising with the FDI Moot's Board and Organisers, it develops a fact scenario and procedural background. Generally, the case evolves on the basis that the home and host State are parties to an IIA (BIT, MIT, etc), the New York Convention of 1958 and the Washington (ICSID) Convention of 1965.Generally, each year's case will involve one or two "procedural" issues (e.g. jurisdiction, admissibility, interim measures, disqualification of arbitrator) and one or two "substantive" issues (e.g. expropriation, denial of justice, discriminatory treatment, violation of fair and equitable treatment and/or full protection and security standards). The Case Committee submits its final draft to the FDI Moot Organisers and Board for approval at the end of the preceding year, and the case is then published in February each year. The Case Committee remains responsible for responding to any requests for clarification (if scheduled) between June and August of each year.

The 2017 FDI Moot case considers how Mercuria, a State faced with a "greyscale" epidemic, has treated a foreign investor, patent-holder of the active ingredient in an effective greyscale treatment, by first breaching a supply agreement, which was the basis for the investor's production facility investments in Mercuria, and failing to enforce the consequent arbitration award and by then granting a compulsory license to a state-owned manufacturer.

Bench Brief Committee Each year's FDI Moot Bench Brief Committee begins its work in March. It analyses the fact scenario and procedural background of the case and may submit confidential requests for clarification to the Case Committee (contemporaneously with the requests of the competing teams) and may liaise with the Case Committee and the Organisers regarding proposed responses to the requests. The FDI Moot's Bench Brief Committee submits its final draft of the Bench Brief to the Organisers one week before the memorial deadline each year. The Bench Brief Committee may submit a revised draft one week before the orals if it believes the teams' memorials have raised relevant, not previously considered arguments.

Founders

The Thomas Wälde Team Fund In October 2008, Ian Laird and the late Prof. Thomas Wälde initiated a fund to support teams’ participation in the FDI Moot.

We would like to thank the following individuals who responded to the new appeal launched for 2018 (in alphabetical order): Emilia Anagbogu, Andrea Bjorklund, James Hosking, Alexandra Meise, Sophie Nappert, and David Roberson.

In addition, we would like to thank Wilmer Hale without whose assistance Kenya School of Law could not have made it to Boston. And again thank you to Skadden for matching the individual donations. In 2017, over US$8,000 have been distributed among seven teams. For teams from many countries, travel expenses to and accommodation costs at the hearing venue remain significant obstacles.
