Draft Law Makes Substantive Amendments to the Rules in Connection with Interim Measures in Arbitration

Interim measures, also known as “interim relief”, refer to temporary measures that are granted prior to the final arbitral award. Examples of common interim measures include freezing orders and anti-suit injunction orders. Many major arbitration rules in the common law world and European countries provide that arbitral tribunals have the power to grant interim measures during the arbitration, while emergency arbitrators have the power to grant pre-arbitration interim measures.
