Event Outline

Implied in any application to an arbitral tribunal or a national court for interim or conservatory measures is the assertion that the measures sought are necessary prior to a final award on the merits. What is the difference between “urgency” as a threshold matter for emergency relief and “urgency” as a requirement for interim measures? These issues will be explored by reference to the arbitration legislation in Singapore and Hong Kong and the arbitration rules of the ICC, SIAC and HKIAC.
