1. On December 29, 2015, the Tribunal issued Procedural Order No. 2 concerning the procedural calendar.
2. By email of April 13, 2016, the Respondent indicated that the parties had agreed to a one-week extension of the deadline for its Counter-Memorial (i.e. until April 22, 2016) and a corresponding one-week extension of the deadlines set out in Procedural Order No. 2, except the pre-hearing and hearing dates. The one-week extension was approved by the Tribunal on April 14, 2016.
3. On May 29, 2016, the Claimant requested an extension until June 6, 2016 for the filing of its Reply to its Motion for the Production of Documents dated May 17, 2016, which was scheduled to be submitted by May 31, 2016. By email of the same date, the Respondent opposed the Claimant’s requested extension and requested that, in the event the Claimant’s extension was granted, it be permitted the opportunity to file a Rejoinder on the Claimant’s May 17, 2016 Motion two weeks after the filing of the Claimant’s Reply.
4. On May 31, 2016 ICSID informed the parties that the Tribunal had approved the Claimant’s request for an extension until June 6, 2016 for the filing of its Reply on its Motion and that it also approved the Respondent’s request to file a Rejoinder two weeks after the filing of Claimant’s Reply (i.e. by June 20, 2016).
5. In view of the above, the revised procedural timetable is annexed to this Order.
