This briefing will explain how you can use arbitration to recover losses deriving from administrative or judicial measures of the foreign State or from a change of law or regulation, even if you do not have a contract with the State or an arbitration clause. This is so even if you have a contract with a State which provides for the jurisdiction of the local courts. The briefing will deal with what is required to bring such claims and what remedies are available, even where a remedy may not be available under the contract.
