It considers complex issues surrounding the powers of arbitrators to grant provisional relief, categories and examples of such measures, procedural and substantive requirements for ordering an interim measure, the burden and standard of proof as well as issues of enforceability. Each chapter offers a thorough analysis both in commercial and investment arbitration. This important new publication will be beneficial to legal practitioners, academics a as well as arbitrators who want to gain a deeper understanding of both the principles and specific rules on provisional and emergency remedies established under the major arbitral rules and tribunals.
