Abstract

This article deals with dispute settlement in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and, in particular, with the relationship between panels and the Appellate Body. Its point of departure is the Asbestos case initially decided by a WTO panel in September 2000 and, on appeal, by the WTO Appellate Body in March 2001.
