Which interim steps are there?
 
The arbitration may use several interim measures. These are customized to each case to maintain the status quo or avert irreparable damage. Discovery, temporary relief, cost security, and evidence preservation are frequent intermediate solutions.
Security for costs is an intermediate remedy that ensures a winning party in arbitration proceedings may collect its expenses. This measure may be beneficial if the other party needs to pay its portion.
Discovery is another intermediate arbitration procedure. This lets parties share information and papers to understand one other's cases better. Complex factual concerns need discovery.
Arbitration processes may also preserve evidence. This protects crucial evidence throughout the process. Since crucial evidence may be lost or destroyed before trial, this safeguard is crucial.
Arbitration procedures may include provisional relief. This permits a party to request temporary relief from the court awaiting merits hearing. If the interim remedy is not granted, irreparable damage may result.
What determines intermediate measures?
 
Interim measures must be requested from the arbitral tribunal. This request must make prima facie evidence that the action is required to maintain the status quo or avert irreparable damage.
The tribunal decides whether to approve the request. While reaching this determination, the tribunal will evaluate the parties' representations, applicable law or precedent, and the case's justice demands.
The tribunal may condition interim measures. The tribunal may force the party requesting relief to prepay fees.
Interim measures may be appealed if denied. The party requesting relief might appeal the tribunal's legal or procedural ruling.
What happens if an interim measure is ignored?
 
The tribunal may penalize noncompliance with interim measures. Fines, damages, and imprisonment may apply. The tribunal may also reject the party's claims or defenses for breaching the arbitration agreement. The tribunal may require the party to pay the opposing side's lawyers' fees and expenses. Failure to obey an interim measure may constitute contempt of court.
What are interim arbitration measures common?
 
Appointing an arbitrator, disclosing papers, freezing assets, preserving evidence, and imposing a temporary injunction are frequent interim steps in arbitration procedures.
Arbitrator Selection
Arbitration is a typical intermediate measure. When the disputants cannot agree on an arbiter, this is done. The court will choose a fair and qualified arbitrator.
Document disclosure
Document disclosure is another popular intermediate strategy. This may be done if one side suspects the other is hiding information. The court will require arbitration-related papers.
Asset Freeze
Asset freezing is a third typical temporary strategy. This may be done if one party suspects the other may squander arbitral assets. The court will freeze all assets until arbitration is finished.
