The whole point of these investor-state dispute clauses in trade agreements is risk mitigation for investors to facilitate FDI. Especially for recipient nations with developing economies like Thailand that are desperate for foreign capital they have no choice but to pay up less they want to suddenly downgrade their status as an investment destination to uninvestable pariah state. If the general wants to plunge Thailand into abject poverty as capital gets pulled from the country then go ahead. Also not sure what effect the election has, dispute is with the state not the general.

Litigation financiers trying to mosy on in was the signal we are on an absolute MONSTER of a pay day. TAFTA case is basically a contingent asset at this point. Only point of contention now is how much $$$ we're getting imo.
