In this one-hour seminar, Steven Gee QC introduced the court-ordered injunction in three stages of the arbitration. (i) Injunctions before formation of tribunal. (a) anti-suit injunction, (b) Mareva injunction, (c) Injunction related to merits, (d) preservation of evidence, and (e), Confidentiality Injunction protecting arbitration. (ii) Injunctions made by court during the course of arbitration. Apart from the anti-suit, merits based and Mareva injunctions, the court may allow any interim relief which could be granted as final relief, e.g. preserving assets, security for claim etc. (iii) Post hearing injunctions, which normally include anti-suit injunctions, or injunction ancillary to enforcement of award. (iv) Handling injunctions against foreign arbitration and non-parties.
