Why it matters
Adel A Hamadi Al Tamimi v. Sultanate of Oman, an investment-treaty arbitration administered by ICSID (case no. ARB/11/33), in which a foreign investor brought claims against a state under an investment treaty. In the outcome, the tribunal rendered its award. For a student, it is a worked example of investor-state dispute settlement: how an ICSID tribunal weighs a state's right to regulate against the treaty protections owed to foreign investors.
