HK45 and DIS40 jointly invite you to a webinar on "Interim Measures and Enforcement of Awards in Germany and Greater China". The Mainland China – Hong Kong Interim Measures Arrangement is often named as one of the advantages of Hong Kong as a seat of arbitration. We will discuss the benefits and pitfalls, hear the latest on the enforcement of arbitral awards in China, and compare the experience from China and Hong Kong with the legal situation in Germany.

Topics will include:

• Interim measures taken by courts in aid of arbitration
• Enforceability of interim measures ordered by tribunals with a seat outside of the country where the measure will have effect
• State court assistance in evidence taking
• Practical experience in enforcing awards in China

HK45 is a group for young arbitration practitioners in Hong Kong and beyond formed under the auspices of the HKIAC. Our aims are to promote interest in and knowledge of issues relating to arbitration, and to provide opportunities for both professional development and social interaction.  

Membership of HK45 is free. To join HK45, please subscribe here​​.

The DIS40 was established in 2002 by the German Arbitration Institute (DIS). DIS40 is a forum for the exchange of experiences among young arbitrators, and its activities focus on subjects that are of interest to young lawyers. These subjects are discussed in regular meetings with arbitration practitioners in an informal setting.
