Mainland Courts Assist Hong Kong Arbitrations in Preservation-Comparison of Interim Measures in Arbitration with Preservation in Mainland Courts

On October 1,2019,the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region hereinafter referred to as the“Preservation Arrangement” came into force.Prior to its promulgation,if a party to Hong Kong arbitral proceedings wished to obtain interim relief against a mainland party,they were to a large extent forced to rely upon the powers conferred upon arbitral tribunals and/or emergency arbitrators to issue interim measures under the applicable arbitration rules.Following the promulgation of the “Preservation Arrangement”,however,parties can now apply for preservation measures including property preservation orders,evidence preservation orders。
