Associated legal terms
Appointing authority
An authority, usually an arbitral institution or organisation (or employee/officer thereof), chosen by the parties and/or under the applicable arbitration rules to appoint an arbitrator(s). The authority may also be called upon to determine any challenges to arbitrators.
Award
Generally, a final, binding decision of the arbitral tribunal on the substantive dispute between the parties. Arbitral awards may also be interim (ie they have temporary, not final, effect) and partial (ie deciding one or more, but not all, of the issues in the dispute on a final, binding basis).
Bilateral Investment Treaty
A treaty between two states that seeks to encourage reciprocal investment by investors of those two states, including providing for rights and protections for foreign investors and investments, and how any disputes that may arise are to be resolved (often referred to as investor-state dispute settlement or ISDS).
