Part III: Answer the following case:
In 2005, the Government of Egypt announced the sale of one of the public enterprises in an
international Auction. Mr. Samuel Morgan from Canada won the auction and concluded a contract
with the Egyptian Government that included an arbitration clause to submit all disputes arising out of
the contract to ICSID. After 6 years the Egyptian government discovered that the contract was
concluded following wrong administrative procedures, hence terminated the contract with Mr.
Morgan. Mr. Morgan considered this a breach of the contract by the Government of Egypt and
decided to bring an arbitration case against the Government of Egypt before the ICSID. Meanwhile,
the Government of Egypt brought a case before the Egyptian judge to avoid the arbitration case.
As the lawyer of Mr. Morgan, advise him on the procedures to be followed before ICSID and whether
or not the case may be accepted in Egyptian Court.
