Saluka Investments BV (The Netherlands) v. The Czech Republic (Claimant's Reply)
Article from: TDM 2 (2006), in Case Comments & Awards
Introduction
This brief is filed on behalf of Saluka in reply to the Czech Republic's Response to the Claimant's Objections to Jurisdiction over the Czech Republic's Counterclaims (the Response). In the Response, the Czech Republic has introduced new arguments and also has attempted to plead the merits of its case. Saluka is thus compelled to address the new arguments on jurisdiction, but will not deal with the Czech Republic's pleadings on the merits, which serve neither to clarify the jurisdictional issues that the Tribunal has to decide nor to assist it in that task.
