RE: ICSID - Suspension29 Oct 2025 09:22
An AI overview gives no indication that the suspension request might be due to agreement ... Reads to me as quite the opposite, it indicates that the procedural order 4 being issued means a decision on it has been made - it also gives the following past examples of reasons for such a request being:
Common reasons for requesting a suspension:
Respondents often request a suspension for specific strategic or legal reasons. Examples from
past cases include:
Pending court or parallel proceedings: A respondent may request a stay if there are related court or other arbitral proceedings whose outcome might affect the current arbitration.
Jurisdictional objections: A suspension might be requested pending a ruling on a jurisdictional objection, particularly if the objection is based on a point of law that is also being addressed in another case.
Clarity on legal issues: A respondent may request a stay if a separate legal issue needs clarification before the arbitration can proceed efficiently.
Failure to pay advances on costs: The arbitral institution or tribunal may suspend proceedings if a party fails to pay the required deposits.
... given the previous ruling on jurisdiction I suspect it may be another attempt by the MX government to suspend it based on that rationale ... I don't know for certain obviously so still maintain there's years to run on the matter yet & then the appeals will need to be dealt with .... JMO though
