Document Summary
Procedural Order No. 2
This summary note is machine-generated. Always consult the original materials.

This Procedural Order No. 2 formalizes the parties' agreement to consolidate claims within a single proceeding. The Tribunal records the agreement between the original Claimant (Espíritu Santo Holdings, LP), the Respondent (United Mexican States), and a new party (Libre Holding, LLC) to add Libre Holding as a co-Claimant in ICSID Case No. ARB/20/13. The Order notes that the Respondent's consent does not constitute an acceptance of jurisdiction or admissibility, with the Respondent expressly reserving its rights to raise such objections in due course. Pursuant to the parties' agreement, the Tribunal orders the addition of Libre Holding as a Claimant and directs the ICSID Secretary-General to discontinue the parallel proceeding, ICSID Case No. ARB/21/55. The Tribunal further accepts and incorporates the revised procedural calendar agreed upon by the parties, which is attached as Annex A. The Order confirms that the Tribunal members have submitted updated declarations of independence and impartiality in light of the joinder and that Procedural Order No. 1 remains in effect, subject to the amended calendar.
