Over 3000 international investment agreements (IIA) currently operates through Bilateral investment treaties (BITs) and investment protection provisions of free trade agreements (FTAs). Investment agreements are concluded by the investors home country and the host country. Its aim is to protect the investor and investment made in the territory of the host country. By the nature of mixing public-private law, investment treaties usually have a wider implication for the domestic regulatory regime of host states. Notable examples include trade, tax, intellectual property, renewable energy, environment and public health policies. How to balance investor rights and the host states right to regulate in public mattes has thus become a topical issue in investment relations. On dispute settlement, foreign investor are given the direct rights to use international arbitration challenging the host states measures. The arbitral rules of the ICSID (International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes) and United Nations Commission International Trade Law Arbitration Rules (UNCITRAL) are the two rules which have been most commonly used. As practiced, the number of investor-State arbitrations has mushroomed as hundreds of millions of dollars have been awarded as compensation remedies. Investment arbitration usually affects a wider public interest of a host state and thus has invited hot debates within international economic community. Tentative topics to be discussed follow. (1) Overview of International Investment Law _ Proliferation in Asia (2) Definition on investors and investments (3) Non-discrimination treatment: National Treatment; Most Favoured Nation (4) Indirect expropriations and right to regulate (5) Fair and equitable treatment: the emerging proportionality principle? (6) Full protection and security/ umbrella clause (7) Cross-cutting Issues in Investment Law _ Asia Perspective on Sustainable Environment and Public Health (8) BIT dispute settlement in East Asia and the dispute settlement in the investment chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) (9) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(I): ICSID Jurisdiction, applicable law and interim measure (10) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(II):Challenge and annulment procedures (11) Introduction to ICSID arbitral rules(II): Enforcement and sovereign immunity The course is designed to help students establish the basic capacity to deal with issues on foreign investment law.

If one views law and equity as the flesh and bones of the law, litigation funding would probably be the lifeblood that nourishes them. This stream of lifeblood has been running through the English system and those that are closely mirrored on it for centuries. Such systems have however constantly suffered from a condition known as the “English disease of costs”. The chief symptoms of this disease include costs being “unpredictable, disproportionate and unlimited.”1 These in turn lead to costs which act as a barrier to justice. It is not that English law failed to pay heed to the law of costs. Rather, all the time and effort spent on the law of costs has failed to cure the disease: it has in fact merely served as a constant reminder of the seriousness of the ailment. Public outcry against the obscene legal costs of this system has echoed from the early days of the common law to the present day. There have been no lack of reform attempts. In fact, if one cares to look through the pages of history, reforms and proposals promising to bring down the obscene costs in English law have come and gone. Some achieve minor victories, while the vast majority have, on the whole, been utter failures. Against this historical backdrop, with the coming into force of the relevant provisions of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, the Jackson reforms are the latest contender in a thousand-year English war against costs. There are repercussions and recurring themes in the history of costs that we never seem to be able to break off from. The reform of the law of costs went around in cycles, and the Jackson reforms were no exception to this historical pattern. There is a need to look into the historical development of the law when engaging in the reform of procedural law. After all, “[w]hat has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun”,2 and this would be particularly true in the context of civil procedural reform. This article is thus an attempt to provide a brief historical account of the law of costs, and to draw parallels between the Jackson reforms and previous laws, in the hope that these would provide a better understanding of our current law. – To introduce students to fundamental principles of the English law of civil procedure and civil evidence, which would serve as a conceptual framework for the further study of common law subjects and comparative study. – To equip students with essential knowledge on civil litigation in England and other jurisdictions similar to it. – To engage students in debates on both perennial and recent topics and challenges faced by the English law of civil procedure & civil evidence. NB It must be noted that due to the categorisations under English law, administrative litigation procedure would fall within civil procedure and thus the syllabus would also cover it.

This is an academically-focused course designed to increase students’ understanding of international law related to disability from a human-rights-based perspective. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) will play a central role in study throughout the semester. Two important aspects of this course will be to 1) Provide students with a multifaceted comprehension of disability rights theory and its implications for modern society in the fields of education, employment, government participation, etc. 2) Encourage students to more broadly consider how disability and “mainstream” society are interlinked and cannot be compartmentalized, especially given the rapidly-evolving technological advancement of the modern world. This course and its accompanying exams will be designed not to test students’ ability to memorize provisions of various international disability rights laws, but rather to challenge students to think deeply about barriers that exist in society in relation to persons with disabilities and think about issues related to disability from different perspectives, as well as offer creative solutions to difficult problems faced by those who support disability rights within society. The teaching style of the course will: A) Be student-centered, B) Comprehensive, and C) Consider why and how, not only what the law is. Throughout the semester, students will be called upon to actively participate in in-class discussion, do numerous short writing assignments, give their own ideas, and consider international perspectives. 5 Topics of Course Content: 1) Introduction to Disability Rights Movement and UN CRPD 2) Employment and Education 3) International Disability Rights 4) Participation in society, government, and culture 5) Disability rights as human rights, new tech and the future Two main goals: 1) Help students understand the role of law and social movements in eliminating barriers and protecting full and equal rights for persons with disabilities. 2) Ensure students’ ability to research and discuss these topics successfully in English.
