We are proud to announce that Nadia Darwazeh and Rémi Sassine have published an article in the Journal of International Arbitration, tackling one of the most contested questions in the field: what counts as “irreparable harm” when a party seeks interim or emergency measures?
Their article, entitled “Irreparable or Irremediable Harm as a Condition for Interim Measures in International Arbitration: From Theory to Practice”, takes on a threshold question that arbitration practitioners regularly grapple with, but that has rarely been examined in this much depth.
Indeed, while most arbitration rules grant tribunals broad discretion to order interim relief, the standard for proving irreparable harm has remained elusive, a gap that leaves parties and arbitrators alike with little settled guidance when urgency strikes.
We congratulate Nadia and Rémi on this valuable contribution, and are pleased to share it with the wider arbitration community below.
