加拿大科夫公司和特梅诺公司诉美国仲裁案,在《北美自由贸易协定》(NAFTA)投资仲裁实践中,是一桩较特殊和经典的案例。该案仲裁程序并不复杂,主要涉及管辖权决定,但是仲裁庭娴熟准确地适用条约解释规则却格外引人注目。此外,本案的事实及历史背景也错综复杂。该案起源于美加软木材贸易纠纷,但最终却演变为NAFTA投资仲裁纠纷,折射了NAFTA体制下,贸易与投资之间的特殊关系。
The case of Corvo Canada and Termeno v. United States Arbitration is a rather special and classic example in the NAFTA investment arbitration practice. The case arbitration process is not complicated, mainly related to the jurisdiction decision, but the arbitral tribunal skilled and accurate application of treaty interpretation rules are particularly noticeable. In addition, the facts and historical background of the case are also intricate. The case originated from the dispute between the United States and Canada in the softwood trade. However, it eventually evolved into a NAFTA dispute over investment and arbitration, reflecting the special relationship between trade and investment under the NAFTA system.
