Shaun Matos Writes For Law Quarterly Review
Shaun Matos has recently published a case note in the Law Quarterly Review discussing the judgment of the Supreme Court in the combined appeals in Spain v Infrastructure Services Luxembourg Sarl; Zimbabwe v Border Timers Ltd [2026] UKSC 9; [2026] 2 W.L.R. 581. The Supreme Court held that States which are party to the ICSID Convention have waived their adjudicative immunity within the meaning of section 2(2) of the State Immunity Act 1978. Arbitral awards made under the ICSID Convention can therefore be registered in England and Wales. The case will be of significance to successful claimants in ICSID arbitration seeking to enforce awards in the English courts.
