商品描述
This book offers a reference guide that can be consulted by all users of Third-Party Funding (TPF), lawyers, students, and other interested readers. In addition to analyzing TPF issues holistically, with both doctrinal and empirical methods, the book provides important empirical data on funders through interviews conducted with nearly thirty people working for third-party funders. It reveals a range of potential problems and lays out how to address them in the form of guidelines.
TPF has become a significant element of litigation and arbitration systems around the world for both theoretical and practical reasons. Specifically, in the context of investment arbitration, the latest studies suggest that a large percentage of investment arbitration cases are sponsored by funders. Despite its prevalence, TPF has raised procedural and ethical concerns in the investment regime. One of the caveats is that when states lose against an investor, their taxpayers are who pay for the investment arbitration award, essentially transferring the wealth of the states to the investor, and now part of this wealth goes to the funder. Whether or not the funder shares this wealth is anyone's guess and represents an ethical consideration.
Apart from ethical challenges, TPF has also raised significant procedural problems in investment arbitration. As funders enter the equation of arbitration proceedings in the investment regime, consideration must be given to this new player and how TPF affects investment arbitration.
Overall, the book assesses TPF in its entirety: background information, the main procedural issues and case law, ethical aspects, and empirical research on TPF, including the funder's perspective. By doing so, it sheds new light on under-researched issues and offers essential guidance to help orient legal policy.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了一本參考指南，供第三方資金（Third-Party Funding，TPF）的所有使用者、律師、學生和其他有興趣的讀者查閱。除了以教條和實證方法全面分析TPF問題外，該書還通過對近30位第三方資金提供者的訪談，提供了重要的實證數據。它揭示了一系列潛在問題，並提供了相應的指南以解決這些問題。
出於理論和實際原因，TPF已成為全球訴訟和仲裁體系中的重要元素。具體而言，在投資仲裁的背景下，最新研究表明，大部分投資仲裁案件都由資金提供者贊助。儘管TPF普遍存在，但它在投資體制中引起了程序和倫理上的關注。其中一個警告是，當國家在投資者面前輸掉訴訟時，他們的納稅人將為投資仲裁獎金付款，從而實質上將國家的財富轉移給投資者，而現在這部分財富則流向資金提供者。資金提供者是否分享這部分財富，只能任人猜測，這涉及倫理考慮。
除了倫理挑戰，TPF在投資仲裁中還引起了重大的程序問題。隨著資金提供者進入投資體制的仲裁程序，必須考慮到這個新的參與者以及TPF對投資仲裁的影響。
總的來說，該書全面評估了TPF：背景信息、主要程序問題和案例法、倫理方面以及TPF的實證研究，包括資金提供者的觀點。通過這樣做，它為研究不足的問題提供了新的視角，並提供了必要的指導，以幫助定位法律政策。
