Presentation At The International Bar Association Conference "Litigating In The Middle East"

There is an inevitable and pressing question that litigators entrusted with promoting an action have to answer, right after they receive their initial instructions:

"Is there a need for Interim Relief?"

An Interim Order obtained for a Plaintiff, is just the first shot fired. Sometimes before the official declaration of "war" and with the use of a silencer. But its importance, cannot be overstated... It is not merely a useful tool that can be shaped to serve a specific purpose. It is also a powerful weapon that can reverse or prevent an injustice. And very often, the sole mean by which the rights and interests of a Claimant may be effectively protected, prior to the adjudication or resolution of the claim and until the execution of any judgment obtained.
