Mock EA with a PPO Application: Emergency Relief in Practice (in English)

The SIAC Rules 2025 allow parties applying for Emergency Arbitration (EA) to also seek a Protective Preliminary Order (PPO) without prior notice to the other party. This mock session will demonstrate how EA and PPO applications are prepared, argued, and decided in practice, giving participants insight into the dynamics, challenges, and strategies involved in urgent proceedings. The session will conclude with reflections from experienced arbitrators on the mock exercise and on how EA and PPO can be effectively utilized by Korean companies.
