The 742 cases registered at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes between 1974 and June 2023 for which the three tribunal members and the dates are known, as released by Coupette, Hartung and Katz (2024): one row per seat, so a case has three rows. Arbitrators sharing a case are the co-occurrence data of a temporal hypergraph whose hyperedges are tribunals active from constitution to conclusion; see temporal_hypergraph().
