Abstract

Match fixing has been defined in organised sports as the act of playing or officiating a match with the intention of achieving a pre-determined result, which is seen as violating the rules of the game and often the law.1It sometimes takes the form of a player deciding to commit certain errors during the match in order to achieve a certain result. This is mostly influenced by bribery and blackmail from bookmakers.2It seems that investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) is now so lowly valued that it would be comparable to the rot of match fixing in competitive sports. Process & Industrial Developments Limited (P&ID) v Federal Republic of Nigeria3is a classic example of how the rot and corruption in ISDS is endemic especially in Global South states. It is an example of how players in an ISDS case can collude to achieve a desired outcome at the expense of truth and justice
