The Fair and Equitable Treatment Standard: A Guide to NAFTA Case Law on Article 1105

Published: October 2013


Since the entry into force of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, several arbitral tribunals have rendered awards dealing with claims of breach of Article 1105. Some of these awards have been very controversial and have had a tremendous impact on the development of the concept of fair and equitable treatment (FET) and the evolution of international investment law. Yet, in spite of the fundamental importance of these awards, no comprehensive study had been undertaken to determine the meaning and the content of the FET standard under NAFTA Article 1105.

This book’s systematic analysis of the provision and its case law fills this analytical gap. Because Article 1105 is in many ways different from typical FET clauses contained within most investment treaties, the author examines the particular parameters under which it must be interpreted. He also analyzes how these specific features have influenced NAFTA tribunals’ interpretation of the provision, and how their assessments differ from awards rendered by other tribunals outside NAFTA.

Among the issues treated in the course of the analysis are the following:

  • The origin, development, nature and content of the concept of the ‘minimum standard of treatment’ and its interaction with the FET standard
  • The specific parameters under which Article 1105 must be interpreted, including contextual elements such as subsequent agreement and practice between the NAFTA Parties on matters of interpretation
  • The context in which the Free Trade Commission issued its Note of Interpretation in 2001 and how NAFTA tribunals have applied it
  • Whether or not the concepts of legitimate expectations, transparency, arbitrary conduct, discriminatory conduct, good faith, denial of justice, and due process have been considered by NAFTA tribunals as specific elements of protection to be accorded to investors under Article 1105
  • The many facets of these elements and the threshold of severity that NAFTA tribunals have required for finding a breach of Article 1105
  • The interaction between Article 1105 and other NAFTA provisions on national treatment, Most-Favored-Nation treatment, and expropriation
  • How NAFTA tribunals have assessed damages for breach of Article 1105

This comprehensive guide to NAFTA case law on Article 1105 is an important contribution to the on-going controversial debate about the scope and content of the FET standard under international law. It will be of great interest to counsel for investors and States as well as to arbitrators, academics and anyone interested in investor-State arbitration.

Summary and Analysis of Fiscal Year 2015 U.S. Budget Proposal

Complimentary: www.cch.ca/2015USBudget

On March 4, 2014, President Obama released a $3.9 trillion proposed fiscal year (FY) 2015 federal budget, with a mix of expanded child, family and education tax credits as well as some curbed tax preferences for higher income individuals and businesses. Funding for the proposed tax breaks would come from, among other proposals, taxing carried interest as ordinary income, extending payroll taxes to cover certain distributions from professional service companies, and restricting the availability of like-kind exchange treatment for real estate transactions. In conjunction with the budget, the Treasury Department also released its Green Book, providing explanations of the proposed budget.

CCH's Tax Briefing: Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Proposals provides you with a summary of the budget proposal.

Author: Paul A. Mackey, CPA

SEC Disclosures Checklists is a practical guide designed for CPAs who service public companies, whether internally or externally. It identifies disclosure requirements for financial statements, Management's Discussion and Analysis (MD&A), and the SEC rules mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

S Corporation Taxation (2015) (U.S.)

Author: Robert W. Jamison, CPA, Ph.D.

The S corporation is the most popular entity for closely held businesses, but the rules that regulate S corporations and make them a popular choice are complex, confusing and in a state of flux. CCH's popular "S Corporation Taxation" offers an in-depth and comprehensive analysis of S corporation taxation and uses extensive examples to illustrate both simple and complex situations. In areas where authorities do not provide clear guidance, the author constructs plausible courses of action, with appropriate analysis.

Published annually, S Corporation Taxation focuses on the rules of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and integrates these rules with other portions of the tax law that can have substantial impact on S corporations and their shareholders. At the end of each chapter are pertinent checklists, worksheets and sample election letters to help apply the concepts discussed to the reader's actual real life situation.

Principles of Business Taxation (2014) (U.S.)

The CCH Principles of Business Taxation course approaches the study of taxation from the perspective of the student who will become a business person faced with decisions that are inevitably affected by tax considerations. This perspective leads to a very different coverage in this textbook - coverage that is useful for accounting, finance and general business majors. The new edition focuses on the central concepts that build our tax framework and avoids small exceptions.
Many items that pertain specifically to businesses (for example, inventory valuation issues) usually not discussed in a traditional undergraduate tax textbook are covered in this book. Although so many of the exclusions, deductions, and credits apply equally to individual and corporate taxpayers, this book focuses on the business perspective.
 
?    PART I: OVERVIEW OF TAXES AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX SYSTEM
?    PART II: FEDERAL TAXATION OF BUSINESS INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS
?    PART III: TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BUSINESS PROPERTY
?    PART IV: CALCULATING TAX LIABILITY AND TAXES OWED
?    PART V: SPECIFIC BUSINESS ENTITY ISSUES
?    PART VI: Taxation of International Transactions

Principles of Business Taxation (2013) (U.S.)

Available: March 2012

Approaches the study of taxation from the perspective of the student who will become a business person faced with business decisions that are inevitably affected by tax considerations. This perspective leads to a very different coverage in this textbook. The new edition focuses on the central concepts that build our tax framework and avoids small exceptions and details to ensure that the student can confidently master the critical underpinnings of federal taxation. It abandons minutia that not only affects a very small number of taxpayers, but also tends to change often.

Many items that pertain specifically to businesses (for example, inventory valuation issues) usually not discussed in a traditional undergraduate tax textbook are covered in this book. Although so many of the exclusions, deductions, and credits apply equally to individual and corporate taxpayers, this book focuses on the business perspective. An advantage to this approach is that most of the students who take only one course in taxation will learn how businesses are taxed and, in turn, will have a better appreciation for how taxes affect business decisions.

While the focus is on concepts and how taxes affect business decisions, individual income taxation is not abandoned. After all, many core tax concepts apply to individuals as well as businesses, and this book is not shy in pointing out such application. It also includes a special chapter on individuals (sole proprietorships) and one on pass-through entities that tie together the underlying threads concerned with these taxpayers throughout the text.

1. OVERVIEW OF TAXES AND THE FEDERAL INCOME TAX SYSTEM
2. FEDERAL TAXATION OF BUSINESS INCOME AND DEDUCTIONS
3. TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BUSINESS PROPERTY
4. CALCULATING TAX LIABILITY AND TAXES OWED
5. SPECIFIC BUSINESS ENTITY ISSUES
