Associated legal terms

commerical arbitration

according to the model-law'>UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (the UNCITRAL Model Law), the term 鈥榗ommercial鈥 in this context should be given a wide interpretation so as to cover matters arising from all relationships of a commercial nature, whether contractual or not. These include, but are not limited to, the following transactions: any trade transaction for the supply or exchange of goods or services; distribution agreement; construction; banking and finance; insurance; joint venture; and, carriage of goods or passengers by air, sea, rail or road. Accordingly, a commercial arbitration will have such a relationship at the heart of the dispute.

Investment

An investment will typically mean any type of property or interest held within the territory of the host state. This will often extend far beyond 'obvious' property, such as real estate or shares in a local company, to (depending upon the circumstances) other interests such as rights under a contract, intellectual property rights and private loans. As with the concept of 'investor,' in the modern commercial world what does and does not qualify as investment can be a complex question. The definition of 'investment' will vary between BITs.

Investor

An investor will typically mean an individual citizen of the investor鈥檚 home state or a company incorporated in the investor鈥檚 home state. However, in the modern world of global citizens and multinational corporations, this issue can be complex. The definition of 'investor' will vary between BITs.
