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) |
| 14:45-15:30 | Q&A |
