Martins Paparinskis

Research by Dr Martins Paparinskis, Reader in Public International Law at , was cited by the Singapore Court of Appeal in the Swissbourgh Diamond Mines (Pty) Limited & Ors v Kingdom of Lesotho judgment delivered on 27 November.

The case concerned a set aside of an international investment arbitration award. One of the issues that the Court had to consider was the distinction between jurisdiction and admissibility in international investment arbitration. The Court explained the various ways in which the distinction could be drawn by a quote from a chapter by Dr Paparinskis in CL Lim, J Ho, and M Paparinskis, International Investment Law and Arbitration: Commentary, Awards and other Materials at [207]. It also cited the same chapter among other authorities at [208] in support of its conclusions on the practical effect of the distinction on the scope of review.
