Emergency arbitration and interim measures in the UAE

How we help with emergency arbitration and interim measures

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers arbitration clause and rules, tribunal-status record, urgency evidence and the proposed interim measure. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• Can a tribunal preserve evidence or disputed goods?

  Under Article 21 of the federal Arbitration Law, subject to Article 18 and unless the parties agree otherwise, a tribunal may order interim measures, including preserving material evidence or disputed goods. Identify what needs protection and why. This tribunal power does not establish eligibility for an institutional emergency arbitrator; the agreed rules and seat require separate review. Check the arbitration agreement, applicable rules and whether the tribunal is already constituted. Explain the urgent harm, requested measure and evidence supporting it. Emergency arbitration and court interim relief may involve different authority and effect; do not assume one is available because the other is.
