Application of Amici for Leave to File a Post-hearing Written Submission

The application seeks to address whether the 'police powers' exclusion from expropriatory measures includes bona fide non-health environmental measures, arguing that such a legal clarification is necessary if California's MTBE ban is not found to be a public health measure.

• The Amici seek to address a specific legal question regarding whether the 'police powers' exclusion from measures classed as expropriatory extends to 'bona fide non-health environmental measures'.
• The application argues that the Tribunal must determine if a non-health-related environmental measure constitutes a violation of Article 1110 if it finds that California's MTBE ban is not a bona fide public health measure.
• The Amici assert that international law does not consider legitimate environmental regulations to be expropriatory, treating them as legitimate police power measures.
