Case Report by Marina Kofman, Editor Ignacio Torterola
Summary
Claimant brought an action for relief against Montenegro pursuant to the Cyprus-Montenegro BIT ('BIT') alleging Montenegro breached, inter alia, fair and equitable treatment, full protection and security, most-favoured nation and expropriation protections in the BIT in relation to its investment in an aluminium plant located in Montenegro. Following preliminary objections, the Tribunal decided to have a phase of the proceedings dedicated to determining whether Claimant has a "seat" under Article 1(3)(b) of the BIT, in order to qualify for the Treaty's protections as an "investor".
Main issues
Definition of "seat" of incorporation under international law as well as under Cypriot and Montenegrin law.
