How Urgent Shall An Emergency Be. The Standards Required To Grant Urgent Relief By Emergency Arbitrators, Edgardo Muñoz
How Urgent Shall An Emergency Be. The Standards Required To Grant Urgent Relief By Emergency Arbitrators, Edgardo Muñoz
Edgardo Muñoz
In recent years, many arbitration institutions have adopted so-called ‘emergency relief rules’. These rules allow parties to request an ‘emergency arbitrator’ to issue interim measures before the arbitral tribunal is constituted. The author submits that while emergency arbitrators might apply the same substantive requirements that arbitral tribunals apply for granting interim relief, the standard required to meet each substantive requirement shall be different. In addition, the author explores the power of emergency arbitrators to grant urgent relief ex parte and a particular fact scenario where emergency arbitrators will add imminent value to the process of arbitration.

Dichos cuerpos legales podrían abordar de manera distinta cuestiones relacionadas, por ejemplo, con el tipo de controversias y entes que pueden someterse al arbitraje, los requisitos del convenio arbitral, el control que ejercen los tribunales estatales sobre el …
