There have been various recent developments in relation to the availability of interim protection for parties to a dispute in the Middle East, including its forms and conditions when granted. With the DIFC Court of Appeal changing the approach to jurisdictional gateways in Sandra Holding Ltd, the possibility to use the DIFC Courts for future Middle East disputes may become more limited.
This highlights the importance of the relevant onshore dispute resolution regimes in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and other Middle East jurisdictions where the same relief may not be readily available, as well as in other jurisdictions with approaches similar to those of the DIFC.
Baker McKenzie cordially invites you to a seminar on 13 November 2024, focusing on the recent developments to interim protection and the strategic implications for parties to Middle Eastern disputes. Topics for discussion include amongst others:
- The options for interim relief and remedies available in the Middle East and overseas jurisdictions;
- The enforcement of interim relief in Middle Eastern disputes; and
- The choice of forum and other relevant strategic considerations
Our cross-regional Baker McKenzie team of dispute resolution and international arbitration experts will be joined by industry speakers including Elina Quinio, Senior Legal Counsel at ADNOC and Roula Zahar, General Counsel at Dubai Real Estate Corporation and Wasl Group.
The seminar is free to attend, however spaces are limited so please register by 8 November 2024.
We hope to see you there. If you have any queries regarding the seminar, please contact Jenny Medina.
