Abstract

When analysing the process of legal decision-making what might first come to mind is the dichotomy between the interpretation and the application of the law. These terms, in some circumstances, may be employed interchangeably due to the strong link that exists between them. Indeed, jurisdictional clauses in investment treaties refer cumulatively to “disputes over the interpretation or application of the treaty” giving the impression of creating a “portmanteau category” [Franklin Berman, ‘International Treaties and British Statutes’ (2005) 26 StatuteLRev 1, 10.] that may not require the competent tribunal to distinguish the one from the other. However, this distinction is important as it creates two linked but functionally separate spheres.
