Legal Terms - Treaty of European Union, Article 50
The Treaty on European Union includes a section that outlines the specific procedure to be followed in the event that a member state expresses its desire to exit from the Union. According to Article 50, if a member state decides to withdraw from the EU in line with its own constitutional requirements, it must give notice of its decision to do so. After serving this notice, the treaties that regulate the EU will no longer apply to that state within two years. After the outcome of the UK's Referendum on Continued Membership of the European Union, the HM Government announced its plan to activate Article 50, so initiating the process of exit. Nevertheless, in the case of R (on the application of Miller and another) v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union [2017] UKSC 5 (referred to as Miller's case (No. 1)), the Supreme Court determined that such action could not be taken without the approval of Parliament through an Act of Parliament. The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 was enacted, and the United Kingdom formally notified its intention to withdraw from the European Union through a letter dated 29 March 2017. The Article 50 procedure reached its conclusion when the United Kingdom officially departed from the European Union on 31 January 2020.

legal Terms - Article 101 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
An article in the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (formerly known as the Treaty of Rome) that forbids actions that hinder competition.
Agreements that have the intention or result of limiting, preventing, or distorting competition in the European Union (also known as competition law). Article 101, previously known as 81 and before that 85, has direct applicability in all member states as per Community legislation. It is commonly employed to combat cartels and is only applicable when the agreement has an impact on trade between member states.
Agreements that violate the Article are invalid and cannot be enforced; third parties have the legal right to seek compensation if they have experienced financial harm as a result of these agreements. Violation of the Article may lead to EU penalties of up to 10% of the company's total yearly revenue. Following Brexit, Article 101 is applicable exclusively to UK undertakings when a practice within the UK has an impact within the EU. In the UK, the Competition Act 1998 contains rules that are quite similar. These provisions specifically prohibit agreements that are anticompetitive under Chapter I of the Act.

Legal Terms - Appurtenant
Appurtenant is an adjective. Appended or affixed to the land and augmenting the land or its utilization. An easement is required to be connected to a dominant tenement, while a profit à prendre is not necessary to have this connection. Therefore, a landowner from Sussex does not receive any advantage for his Sussex property from a permitted right of passage across land in Yorkshire. This right is not considered an easement. However, a right to hunt game over the Yorkshire land could provide a person in Sussex, whether they own land or not, with a legally acceptable profit à prendre.

Legal Terms - Arbitration
Arbitration is the process of resolving a disagreement by one or more impartial individuals.
The resolution of disputes is conducted by third parties, specifically arbitrators, instead of being handled by a court. Arbitrators are individuals who are appointed to settle disputes between parties in a fair and impartial manner. They are selected by the involved parties in accordance with the conditions of the arbitration
Either through mutual agreement or as a result of a judicial ruling. An arbitrator is obligated to accurately apply the law, but generally has the freedom to pick the approach they see appropriate. They are not required to follow the regulations that exclude certain evidence, but they must adhere to the principles of fairness and impartiality. Under English law, arbitrators are subject to significant judicial oversight about the conduct of the arbitration process and the accuracy of the legal principles they apply. However, the Arbitration Act 1996 has somewhat relaxed this level of control. An arbitrator's decision is referred to as their award, which can be challenged by appealing to the High Court on a legal point according to the requirements of the Arbitration Act 1996. In certain forms of arbitration, it is customary for both parties to designate an arbiter.
In the event that the arbitrators are unable to reach a consensus on the topic being disputed, they will designate an umpire, who possesses the decisive vote in determining the final decision. The English courts place significant emphasis on arbitration and typically suspend legal proceedings that violate a legally binding arbitration agreement. Additionally, please refer to the concept of alternative conflict resolution.
The current inception of international arbitration can be attributed to the Jay Treaty (1784) between the United States and the United Kingdom. This treaty established the resolution of legal conflicts between nations by mixed commissions. The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 included arbitration regulations that have now been incorporated into customary international law. The 1899 Conventions established the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which functioned as a resource for arbitrators that parties involved in a dispute could utilize, although it was not technically a court. There are three ways in which consent to arbitration by a state can be given: The inclusion of a specific arbitration clause in a treaty, the establishment of a general treaty of arbitration for future conflicts, and the creation of a specialized arbitration treaty for a present dispute are three methods of implementing arbitration.
Some examples of arbitration are the Clipperton Island Arbitration (France v Mexico) (1932) 26 AJIL 390, the Tinoco Arbitration (1923) 1 RIAA 369, and the Canada/France Maritime Delimitation Arbitration (1992) 31 ILM 1145. Regrettably, several arbitration rulings have been disregarded, such as the Beagle Channel Arbitration (Chile v Argentina) (1977) 52 ILR 93, where the pope served as a mediator.
The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), located in Washington DC, can assist in facilitating arbitration between a state and a foreign national. Article 25 of the 1965 Convention on the Settlement of Investment Disputes Between States and Nationals of Other States grants ICSID the authority to handle investment disputes between a country that is a party to the convention and a citizen of another country that is also a party to the convention.
