‘This is a serious piece of scholarship which will be consulted, challenged and referred to in the future by academics and practitioners in the area.’

‘Dr Jarrett’s book presents a deep intellectual conceptualisation of vexed issues in contributory fault and investor misconduct in investment arbitration. It sets the rules on sound foundation, clarifies the myriad of confusion, and shines a light through the difficulties that have plagued the relevant questions. Consequently, it should be of great use to a variety of actors dealing with this field.’

‘… the book offers a thought-provoking contribution to the literature on international investment law. It provides a rich, novel, and interesting study of how investor misconduct ought to factor into the analysis of State responsibility in investor-State arbitration claims. Jarrett offers rules that could conceivably form a basis for future debate and reforms, underpinned by a detailed and nuanced discussion that grapples with the structure, content and implications of such rules for investment claims.’

‘His book is not only a critique of existing doctrine and practice but also a bold proposal for reform, including concrete solutions in the form of ready-to-use rules for apportionment … It is hoped that future disputants, armed with Jarrett’s proposals, will encourage tribunals to refine their approach to these matters.’

‘… a creative inspiration for anyone thinking broadly and conceptually about contributory fault and investor misconduct in investment arbitration.’
