Interim remedy definition

What does Interim remedy mean? An interim remedy is a court order granted urgently or at an early stage to preserve the status quo, protect assets, evidence or legal rights, pending final determination of the dispute.

Interim remedies in arbitrations relating to Australia

This Practice Note examines interim remedies in arbitrations connected with Australia. Such measures can be ordered by the arbitral tribunal, or by a court in aid of the arbitral process.

They may be sought at different times during the proceedings. In international arbitration, the avenues to obtain interim protection differ depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the measure sought and the jurisdiction where Enforcement is required.

Tomlin orders in England and Wales: CPR guidance on drafting, confidentiality, approval, variation, enforcement, limitation, CCA issues, court-specific requirements, sample wording and precedents

This Practice Note This Practice Note reviews mechanisms used in settling litigation. A Tomlin order consists of a consent order paired with a schedule. It operates to stay proceedings on terms that have been agreed. The provisions contained in the schedule may remain confidential. This Practice Note describes the scope of confidentiality attaching to the schedule and sets out how it differs from a standard consent order. Sample wording for a Tomlin order is included, alongside links to precedents, as well as guidance on court approval. It also addresses varying, setting aside and enforcing a Tomlin order, including the considerations the court will take into account when handling applications for each. Further guidance is provided on interpreting and applying the relevant provisions of the CPR; however, some courts and divisions impose very specific requirements for both drafting and approval, and for approaching the schedule and confidentiality issues. Accordingly, you must consider the particular rules and court guide provisions in the forum where your claim is proceeding when drawing up the Tomlin order...
