Equity and Equitable Principles in the World Trade Organization cover

This book analyses whether, and how, equity and equitable principles can be employed as juridical tools in the legal reasoning of judges and lawyers in World Trade Organization (WTO) disputes where there is interaction between norms derived from the multilateral trade regime and other international legal regimes. Bringing the literature on equity and equitable principles in international law up to date this book tackles several legal problems which have emerged in WTO dispute settlement practice as well as engaging with the concept of the fragmentation of international law. The book provides an original argument about the role and significance of equity and equitable principles in the debate over fragmentation by providing a coherent methodology for addressing conflicts and overlaps between WTO and non-WTO norms in the context of Dispute Settlement Body proceedings.

"Equity and Equitable Principles in the World Trade Organization can leave no doubt of the author’s impressive skill. The author commands not only the detail but also the breadth of trade law and general international law, matched by a precise analysis of the underlying logic of the legal reasoning found in a plethora of decisions."
