Case  

The 2019/2020 Moot Problem concerned a dispute between the fictitious WTO Members Astor and Taikon on certain measures affecting trade in live animal and prepared food products. The Moot Problem raised a series of WTO law-related questions, including the scope of a WTO Member’s right to maintain sanitary and phytosanitary measures, the right of WTO Members to grant advantages to preferential trade partners and the consequences of a party to a regional trade block leaving that block.
