In a nutshell, Hong Kong remains pro-arbitration; but never clause-blind. In my LexisNexis case commentary, I unpack the reasoning and outline the drafting and procedural implications for arbitration and corporate practitioners.

Julien Chaisse @jchaisse.bsky.social · 19h

The #Fiona Trust presumption remains the starting point but consent to arbitrate still depends on what the parties truly agreed to cover. The Court’s analysis shows that the substance of the dispute, not the mere presence of an arbitration clause, defines arbitral scope.

Julien Chaisse @jchaisse.bsky.social · 19h

This clause’s breadth could not override context. The judgment reinforces that Hong Kong’s proarbitration policy is principled, not automatic.

Julien Chaisse @jchaisse.bsky.social · 19h

Court refused to stay proceedings under section20 #ArbitrationOrdinance despite a broadly worded clause (“arising out of or relating to”) in a shareholders agreement. The reason: the dispute did not arise from any rights or obligations under that agreement.

Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.

“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”

Trump: The Ronald Reagan Foundation has just announced that Canada has fraudulently used an advertisement, which is FAKE, featuring Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about Tariffs. The ad was for $75,000. They only did this to interfere with the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, and other courts. TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A. Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

The US has transformed tax into a point of leverage in international affairs. Its 'revenge taxes', which were dropped in return for an exemption from the global corporate minimum tax, shows tax diplomacy can decide investors’ fate.

Tax diplomacy will hit FDI

Using fiscal policy as political retaliation is a direct risk to investment flows

"Tariffs and the recent executive orders aimed at expanding U.S. pharmaceutical manufacturing are insufficient on their own to address some of the key challenges facing U.S. manufacturers in regulation," CSIS Renewing American Innovation writes.

I propose a model clause that gives governments equal standing at #ICSID or the #PCA. It complements domestic remedies, requires no treaty reform, and builds on practice in Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia.

Most state contracts with foreign investors let only investors start international arbitration. My piece shows why this imbalance is untenable and how governments can correct it.
