ICC Institute of World Business Law Advanced Training on Interim Measures in International Arbitration

Developed by:
José Manuel García Represa, Partner, Dechert, France
Mélida Hodgson, Partner, Arnold & Porter, United States; Vice-Chair, ICC Institute of World Business Law

All times shown are in ET

08.30-09.00       Registration and welcome coffee

09.00 – 09.10     Welcoming address, introduction and presentation of the ICC Institute of World Business Law

09.10 – 10.10      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 arbitri
• 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

10.10 – 10.40      Mock Case

10.40 – 10.55      Coffee break

10.55 – 11.40      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

11.40 – 12.45         Mock Case

12.45 – 13.45      Lunch

13.45 – 14.15       Practical considerations: The arbitrator’s perspective

• 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 Asymmetric take a more active role (e.g., escrow accounts managed by tribunals; order counter-security)

14.15 – 15.10        Q&A 

15.10 – 15.25       Coffee break

15.25 – 15.55        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

15.55 – 16.50       Q&A

16.50 – 17.00      Concluding remarks
