Dissenting opinions have specific provisions in ISDS, such as article 48(4) of the ICSID Rules 2022. In commercial arbitrations, they have been tacitly allowed but ordinarily lack any express provision. In that context, do dissenting opinions serve any useful purpose that an award by majority would not achieve, or do they potentially amount to a breach of the so-called tribunal’s duty to render an enforceable award?
