They have been heard by international tribunals established under various arbitration rules, including the World Bank’s ICSID Rules and the UNCITRAL Rules of the United Nations.
Mr. Appleton served as a trade advisor to the Ontario Cabinet Committee on North American Free Trade in 1993. He is a regular commentator in national media on international trade and investment issues and has provided expert testimony before the Canadian parliament.
