However, shareholder and company rights and treaty and contract claims are connected in important ways. Investment tribunals have generally failed to deal with the fact that company and shareholder rights under national and international law may refer to the same assets and damages. Shareholder claims under investment treaties for state measures against the company's assets are intertwined with related contract/national law claims, in particular regarding the substance of the claims"-- Provided by publisher |
