The book systematically describes the theory and practice of ICSID annulment proceedings by thoroughly analysing this mechanism in light of the annulment decisions rendered so far as well as the publications on the issue. Organised to suit the needs of the practitioner, it outlines the recent trends in the area, providing the most up to date analysis of the subject. It also addresses key topics involving ICSID annulment such as the procedural issues which frequently arise in this type of proceedings, for example admissability of new evidence and arguments in annulment proceedings, res judicata in resubmitted cases. The sections on each ground for annulment include an analysis of the applicable standard as well as a detailed description and study of each annulment decision that addressed the respective ground, creating an authoritative and complete resource.
As anyone who sets out to research this subject quickly discovers, there now are many ad hoc committee decisions on annulment and a good deal of scholarly commentary on the subject. This book therefore is a natural first stop because it succeeds in digesting this great quantity of material and presenting it in a well-organised fashion ... It explains concisely the issues that are settled, identifies the areas where authorities remain in tension, and describes the policy considerations that inform the underlying provisions of the convention, the arguments that repeatedly are presented, and ultimately the decision-making. The book surely will become the vital handbook for any counsel facing an ICSID annulment phase and is destined to become a classic reference. * Abby Cohen Smutny, Global Arbitration Review *
The community of ICSID users and observers are much indebted to the authors of this book for undertaking an erudite and systematic presentation of this difficult subject. * Christoph Schreuer, From the Foreword *
The book by Bishop and Marchili has come out at the right time to help the debate on this very topical issue ... The coverage of this book, its structure and comprehensive focus on the annulment proceedings is impressive. * Alexander Orakhelashvili, British Yearbook of International Law *
