Ann: Publication of ICSID ad hoc Committee Decision, page-10

I seem to recall Bronwyn describing (post the actual hearing) how she was almost embarrassed watching the Tanzanian team during the hearing - if I recall she said something along the lines that - whilst they turned up physically they otherwise seemingly had no idea what they were doing to the point it was almost cringeworthy.

I find it hard to believe how a team that approached the all important and actual hearing in that manner is suddenly going to become "the dream team" and pull of some miracle.

Meanwhile the absolute legal bespoke/specialized guns representing IDA have an insane success rate (I cant recall the exact numbers but I do recall it was very high circa 97% and they have a reputation of only taking on cases they are almost certain they can win - hence why they offer the share of winnings fee structure)

I think IDA is in a very very superior position
