It is my understanding that it can simply be a lawyer, but I will wait for your answer. Obviously, this panel has the ability to award significant damages against a sovereign state in the event that a corporation is successful. Are there any bounds on the compensation amount that might be awarded against a sovereign state, understanding that some claims have amounted to billions of dollars?
