Introduction
Welcome to the Help pages for the Investment Claims website. These pages will help you to find your way around Investment Claims.
The Help pages are context-sensitive, for example, if you are viewing the awards and decisions listed by host state and click the Help button, you will be taken straight to the Help section on List by host state.
About Investment Claims
Investment Claims brings you materials and analysis in the field of investor–state arbitration. The publicly available site features PDF files of awards and decisions which can be viewed listed by date, host state, or investor.
Registering
There is currently no need to log into Investment Claims since all the content is publicly available until the new subscription service is launched. This content will continue to remain publicly available after the launch of the Investment Claims subscription service.
To view the free content all we ask is that you register your email address with us. We do not request any other information from you.
To do this, simply type your email address into the box on the Investment Claims homepage and press Send.
You may also check the 'Remember Me' box so that you do not have to enter your email address each time you access the site. This will place a 'cookie' on your machine which indicates that you have already registered. A cookie is a small piece of information that a Web site stores on your Web browser. No personal information is stored in the cookie - only an indicator that you have previously registered your email address.
Once you have successfully registered your email address, you will be able to view the free awards and decisions in PDF format.
