Ad Hoc Committee on Annulment Under the Auspices of the International Centre for
.Settlement of Investment Disputes
Agility Public Warehousing Company K.S.C.P. - Claimant Republic of Iraq - Respondent
The Annulment Committee upheld Agility's challenge to the original award and partially annulled it. The Annulment Committee agreed with Agility that the original Tribunal had erroneously shielded Iraq's actions from scrutiny, thereby failing to examine whether Iraq's actions and omissions violated the protections afforded to Agility under the BIT. In so doing, and in failing to state the reasons on which its decision was based, the original Tribunal committed an annullable error pursuant to Article 52(1Xb), as well as Article 52(I)(e), of the ICSID Convention.Consequently, the Committee declared the original 2021 judgment to be partially annulled.
As a result ofthis award, Agility will now have the opportunity to re-file its claims before a freshly-constitutedarbitral tribunal under the auspices ofthe International Centre for the Settlement ofInvestment Disputes who will be able to determine Agility's claims including relating to lmq's expropriation of Agility's investment, its failure to treat Agility fairly and equitably, and its failure to accord Agility with full protection and security as required by the Kuwait - Iraa BIT.
NA- It is a final arbitral award regarding annulment.
