Description: 

Anti-suit injunctions are a device, originally found in common law countries, whereby a court orders a party to refrain from bringing a claim before the courts of another State or before an arbitral tribunal or, if the party has already brought such a claim, orders that party to withdraw from, or to suspend, the proceedings. The court that retains its jurisdiction or anticipates that it will do so thus seeks to protect such jurisdiction or, more generally, the jurisdiction of the forum it deems to be the most appropriate.
