16.1. TYPES OF AWARD

According to the working group that drafted the Model Law, an interim or interlocutory or provisional award is an award which does not definitively determine an issue before the tribunal.1 This definition is in line with the general meaning of the term “interim” as opposed to “final”. However, the definition was not adopted in the final text of the Model Law and therefore it was not adopted in the text of the Arbitration Act that mirrors the Model Law. One of the reasons was that, in practice, the term “interim award” is often used interchangeably with “partial award”, though some authors suggest that they should be distinguished.2 Russian arbitration case law does not define interim and partial awards separately, often using the word “postanovlenie” for both, which can be translated into English as “decree”.3 This is how the word “order” used in Art. 32 of the Model Law was translated in Art. 32 of the Arbitration Act.

Russia-based tribunals deliver partial or interim awards in the following cases:

(a) on their own jurisdiction; and

(b) on legal costs.
