Originally from World Arbitration and Mediation Review

Cases where parties seek interim measures of protection commonly involve high-stakes situations where the decision on the interim measures application may well have profound implications for the way the rest of the case plays out.  Such applications confront parties with special strategic considerations and frequently raise some of the most challenging issues arbitrators have to decide.

Through a mock interim measures hearing with parties, lawyers, and arbitrators from diverse legal traditions, this session will give a behind-the-scenes look at how parties bring and defend against applications for interim relief, as well as how arbitral tribunals approach such applications and take their decisions.
