In this episode, Camilla ter Haar and Ruth Keating discuss Woodhouse Investment Pte Ltd and West Cumbria Mining (Holdings) Ltd v United Kingdom. The arbitration is the first time the United Kingdom has faced a claim under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes Convention.

The arbitration concerns whether the United Kingdom's actions regarding the revocation of planning approval for the Woodhouse Colliery project constitute a breach of the fair and equitable treatment standard and protection against indirect expropriation under the 1975 UK-Singapore Bilateral Investment Treaty.
