YPILG and Arnold & Porter will be hosting a webinar on โ€œPublic International Law in the UK, post-Brexitโ€, which will take place on Tuesday, 23 June 2020 at 1 pm (BST / London) / 8 am (EDT / New York) / 8 pm (HKT / Hong Kong).

The event will be moderated by Lucas Bastin and Laura Rees-Evans of Fietta LLP.

Essex Court’s Jackie McArthur will cover โ€œPost-Brexit claims by individuals under public international lawโ€. Individuals can bring claims for a breach of their rights under public international law only in exceptional circumstances, including where they are specifically permitted by a treaty.ย  Brexit alters the basis of the UKโ€™s membership of certain treaties during the transition period and beyond, and therefore may affect the ability to bring individual claims under public international law.ย  This talk will explore the nature and likely effect of some of these changes.

Details of each of the speakers and their presentations are set out below:

  • Maria Fogdestam-Agius of Volterra Fietta will present on the topic of โ€œPost-Brexit EU-UK dispute settlement: critical and contentious issuesโ€.
  • Bart Wasiak of Arnold & Porter will speak about the โ€œProspect of Brexit-related investment-treaty claimsโ€.
  • Joel Dahlquist of Arbitration Chambers will present on โ€œThe role of UK courts in investment-treaty arbitration post-Brexitโ€.
  • Elizabeth Chan of Three Crowns LLP will address the topic of โ€œThe UK’s post-Brexit investment policy: a (lost) opportunity for novel design choices?โ€
