Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement: Discussion

If it had a legitimate business that was licensed or had relevant permissions and was operating in Ireland and was the object of discriminatory treatment that it could prove had resulted in harm being done to it, then the company could have a case in the Four Courts on any day of the week or could take a case under the investment courts system.
