The Mauritian legal system Mauritius operates a mixed legal order, blending French civil law heritage with British common law traditions. It exhibits a dual structure: procedures in both criminal and civil proceedings are largely English in origin, while much of the substantive framework derives from the French Napoleonic Code. The jurisdiction therefore embodies both civil law and common law traits, reshaped to suit domestic requirements and yielding a distinctive body of Mauritian law. This duality appears in the separate regimes applicable to domestic and international arbitration. Rules for domestic arbitration are set out in the Civil Procedure Code 1808 (Code de Procédure Civile) (CPC), drawn from a French version, whereas international arbitration falls under the International Arbitration Act 2008 (IAA 2008), modelled on the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (the Model Law). For further detail on arbitration in Mauritius, see Practice Notes: Arbitration in Mauritius and International arbitration in Mauritius. Notably, the International Arbitration Act 2008 (the IAA 2008) omits the enactment of articles 35 and 36...

Interim remedies in support of arbitration—the legislative regime Arbitration in New Zealand is regulated by the Arbitration Act 1996 (the Act). The principal body of the Act sets out general provisions and rules applicable. Schedule 1 contains an adapted form of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law (the Model Law), and Schedule 2 sets out special rules that generally apply only to domestic arbitrations. In 2007, New Zealand was the first country in the world to implement amendments to the original Model Law put forward by the UNCITRAL 2000 working group, delivering a more comprehensive code for interim measures in support of arbitration. This New Zealand regime is located, in particular, in articles 9 and 17–17M of Schedule 1 to the Act: article 9 of the Act provides for court-ordered interim measures in support of arbitration; and articles 17–17M of the Act concern the making of interim measures orders by arbitral tribunals Provision for awards and orders...
