Abstract

Abstract The decision of the German Federal Supreme Court of 27 July 2023 has sparked intense discussions. Unexpectedly, the Court granted a declaration of inadmissibility of intra-EU ICSID proceedings under section 1032(2) of the German Code of Civil Procedure. The decision is of significant practical relevance and yet another push against intra-EU Investor–State Dispute Resolution. After a short introduction (i), we will describe the legal and factual background of the decision (ii) and summarize the Court’s reasoning (iii). Thereafter, we will comment on the decision (iv) and conclude by pointing out possible implications for future intra-EU ICSID proceedings (v).
