Things may be about to get interesting at Thames Water.
The Govt. is having talks with restructuring specialists about the process of (temporary) nationalisation of TW (after bankruptcy?) and its reorganisation...
but, one might wonder whether investors will launch an Investor State Dispute Settlement case (using investment treaty arbitration) to argue that the Govt. has rendered their investments worthless by such actions....
The case could go on for years....
