09.00 – 09.05

Welcoming address

09.05 – 09.15

Introduction and presentation of the ICC Institute of World Business Law

09.15 – 10.00

Strategic considerations and procedures: When, how and to whom to request interim measures?

  • Concept: must be temporary
  • Powers of the ICC arbitral tribunals
  • Role of the lex arbitriator
    • When can/should request for interim measures be made?
    • To whom can/should interim measures be requested: emergency arbitrator, arbitral tribunal, national courts (concurrent jurisdiction)
  • ICC procedure and statistics: Art. 28 ICC Rules
  • Specific measures: security for costs, escrow accounts, stop payment orders relating to first demand bank guarantees, and counter-guarantees

10.00 – 10.30

Q&A

10.30 – 11.15

Mock Case

11.15 – 11.30

Coffee break

11.30 – 12.15

Practical considerations: The counsel’s perspective

  • Burden of proof
  • Types of measures that can be requested: a very broad range, but with limitations
  • Ex-parte requests
  • Discovery requests before national courts in aid of international arbitration (e.g., 28 USC 1782 requests)
  • Most common defenses against requests for interim measures

12.15 – 12.30

Q&A

12.30 - 14.00

Lunch

14.00 – 14.45

Mock Case

14.45 – 15.30

Practical considerations: The arbitrator’s perspective

  • Asymmetric information with the parties (especially at the outset of the case)
  • Urgency and due process (can an arbitrator award ex parte measures?)
  • Risks: prejudgment, awarding or denying measures may have a permanent effect (e.g., where one of the parties risks liquidation, where assets may disappear, etc.)
  • Can/should arbitrators take a more active role (e.g., escrow accounts managed by tribunals; order counter-security)

15.30 – 15.50

Q&A

15.50 – 16.15

Coffee break

16.15 – 17.00

Compliance, enforcement and other issues arising after interim measures are ordered/awarded

  • “Order” v. “Award” of interim measures
  • Enforcement considerations: what can the parties do?
  • What can arbitrators do faced with a party’s refusal to comply with interim measures?
  • Relevance of civil v. common law jurisdictions.

17:00 – 17:20

Q&A

17:20 – 17.30
