London Arbitration Week 2025: Interim Relief in Practice: Arbitration vs Court

The event will take the form of a moot hearing, focusing on an application for interim relief. Its purpose is to explore and compare how such an application would be handled in two distinct forums: (a) before an emergency arbitrator, and (b) before a judge in court.  To illustrate the differences in approach, we will conduct two hearings using identical facts and submissions. The first will be held before an emergency arbitrator.

Following a short break, the same application will be presented before a judge in court. This format will allow the audience to observe, in practical terms, the procedural and substantive contrasts between the two forums.
