Interim Measures by Arbitral Tribunals and State Courts after the Constitution of the Arbitral Tribunal and their Enforcement in Germany

Journal Title: ADR. Arbitraż i Mediacja - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 36

Abstract

Before and in the course of arbitral or state court proceedings, parties in specific circumstances cannot await the termination of the main proceedings but need a fast interim decision to avoid irreparable harm. Typical examples are the disclosure or misuse of intellectual property, interference with customer relations, the dissipation of assets or – increasingly – the threat to stop the supply of goods. As procedural safeguards against such risks, parties may apply for interim measures of protection, their availability and design depending on the law applicable in the respective jurisdiction, the applicable institutional arbitration rules and the parties’ potential individual agreements in respect to interim measures. In Section I. we will give a short overview over the interim measures available for arbitrations seated in Germany. Section II. is dedicated to the enforcement mechanisms in Germany with respect to interim measures rendered by arbitral tribunals and foreign state courts. In Section III. we will illustrate some practical implications of such disputes looking at supply chain disputes in particular.
