The impact of third-party funding on investment arbitration
Friday 14 April (0945 - 1100)
Description
Over the past decade, the use of third-party funding (TPF) has grown and developed, raising concerns in the field of investment arbitration about the parties’ equality of arms. This panel will discuss whether TPF really facilitates investors’ claims and the measures so far proposed by the arbitral community to address the alleged imbalance brought to the system by the wider use of TPF.
