Corporate Personality in ICSID Arbitration

Examines the approach of ICSID arbitrations towards lifting the corporate veil in order to establish the identity of corporate investors. Reviews the situations in which the veil may be pierced in several EU states and the US, discusses its lifting in the context of public international law and explains the relevance of establishing a company's nationality when considering whether to lift the veil. Analyses the strategies used by ICSID tribunals when reaching a decision on the issue, and considers whether these accord with the legal and economic realities of the dispute and are consistent.
