Conducting an Emergency Arbitration - The Requirements & Considerations
Introduction
Many leading sets of arbitration rules now include express provision for emergency arbitration (i.e. interim relief from a specially appointed emergency arbitrator before a full arbitral tribunal can be constituted). Emergency relief is granted on an expedited timeframe.
Used correctly, emergency arbitration can be a powerful tool for obtaining urgent and effective relief (such as the freezing of assets or the preservation of evidence) and gaining leverage. However, an unsuccessful applicant can result in wasted costs and an early loss. It is, therefore, critical for parties seeking emergency relief and their advisors to be aware of what is required for an effective application and the considerations the emergency arbitrator will have in mind.
