Sometimes a dispute cannot wait for a final award. Emergency, and interim measures protect your position, while the arbitration runs its course.
Emergency, and interim measures in UAE arbitration are urgent forms of relief - such as asset preservation, or injunctions - granted before, or during proceedings, to protect a party's position. Speed, and the right forum are critical. An experienced Emergency & Interim Measures Lawyer in Dubai, acts quickly to secure, or resist urgent relief.
What Are Emergency & Interim Measures in UAE Arbitration?
Emergency and interim measures are provisional measures which are aimed at protecting the rights or assets of a party before the constitution of a tribunal or before the issue of a final award, in order to prevent irreparable damage in the meantime.
Interim measures can be granted by virtue of Federal Law No. 6 of 2018, as amended by Federal Decree-Law No. 15 of 2023, and the courts, provide a supportive role. Institutional rules (e.g., DIAC Arbitration Rules 2022) provide for the appointment of an emergency arbitrator, to act before the constitution of a main tribunal.
These applications are time - critical. Dr. Hassan Elhais, Senior Legal Consultant, emphasizes that acting immediately, and choosing the right forum, either the emergency arbitrator, or the courts, it is essential for securing effective urgent relief.
