Thomas R. Snider, Ahmad Anani and Etidal Alwazani write for Daily Jus on the architecture of interim measures under the Qatari Civil and Commercial Arbitration Law
In an article for Daily Jus, Thomas R. Snider (Partner & Head of International Arbitration), Ahmad Anani (Head of Capital Markets and Regulation) and Etidal Alwazani (Legal Director of the Corporate team in Qatar) analyse how interim measures operate within Qatar’s Civil and Commercial Arbitration Law framework.
The piece explores the scope and purpose of interim measures, including their role in preserving assets, maintaining status quo, and ensuring enforceability of arbitral awards. It examines the legal basis for granting such measures, the procedural requirements, and the powers of arbitral tribunals versus state courts in this context.
The authors also consider practical challenges, such as enforcement mechanisms and the interplay between domestic law and international arbitration standards. This discussion is particularly relevant as Qatar continues to position itself as a regional hub for arbitration.
