This Section 8.2 begins with a short overview of the key elements of any dispute resolution provision at Section 8.2.1. Section 8.2.2 then explains factors a Contracting Authority should consider when selecting a dispute resolution provision, i.e. factors relevant to choosing between court litigation (whether before local courts or the courts of an "offshore" jurisdiction) or arbitration. It also includes some important guidance as to whether a Contracting Authority is able to refer disputes to particular fora, for example for reasons of public policy. The guidance then discusses a number of the key elements of a typical dispute resolution provision in a PPP Contract. Key points covered include when an investor may want to move away from local courts, when Parties may select international arbitration as the dispute resolution mechanism, specific drafting issues in relation to arbitration clauses, when Parties might include alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as expert determination and mediation, and finally some guidance on waivers of any immunities and privileges that a Contracting Authority (and other sovereign/quasi-sovereign entities) may have.
