Amicus curiae brief under revised ICSID Rules: Biwater v Tanzania | Practical Law
Five non-governmental organisations have been given permission to file amicus curiae briefs in the arbitration Biwater Gauff (Tanzania) Ltd v United Republic of Tanzania (ICSID Case No ARB/05/22). This is understood to be the first occasion on which an ICSID tribunal has permitted non-parties to file amicus submissions under the revised ICSID Arbitration Rules, which now expressly provide for a tribunal to permit non-parties to file written submissions.
