At its core, regulatory chill occurs when governments hesitate or refrain from enacting policies that could be seen as unfriendly to foreign investors. This hesitation stems from the potential for legal disputes in international arbitration, often under the framework of investor-state dispute settlement... mechanisms, which are present in many modern trade and investment treaties. 2, record 2, English, - regulatory%20chill

Only if the points are equal at the end of a contest is hantei necessary. The competitors wait at their initial starting positions with their judogi adjusted. The referee takes a blue flag in the right hand and a white flag in the left.(The judges hold the flags to correspond with the positions of the blue and white contestants.) Before calling for hantei the referee checks to make sure that the judges are prepared with their flags in hand.

FOG causes sudden but transient interruption of walking. Patients describe feeling as if their feet are “glued” or “stuck” to the floor. FOG is commonly observed while initiating gait(“start hesitation”) such as after getting up from a chair or getting out of a car. It often occurs while turning when it commonly causes sudden falls. It may also be caused by a visible obstacle in the path, walking through a doorway or narrow space, in a crowded or cluttered environment, or in a situation in which the patient is rushed or startled. 3, record 8, English, - freezing%20of%20gait

After some hesitation it was settled in 1565 that if a tenant in fee simple covenanted to stand seized of his land in favour of some near relative, the "good consideration" of natural love and affection sufficed to raise a use in favour of the relative; the use was then executed and the legal estate vested in the relative. This type of conveyance was of limited application as it could not be employed to convey land to strangers, and, like the bargain and sale enrolled, it could not carry any further uses under the Statute.(Megarry and Wade, 4th ed., 1975, p. 165) 1, record 9, English, - covenant%20to%20stand%20seized%20of%20land
