Enforcing interim measures in the DIFC

This paper explores the role of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Courts in enforcing interim measures, whether in the form of orders and awards. The DIFC Courts possess extensive enforcement jurisdiction and have consistently demonstrated a pro-enforcement stance. Over time, they have adapted to various circumstances by enforcing interim measures granted in different forms. While the DIFC has traditionally been seen as a favorable enforcement jurisdiction for judgment creditors, it has become evident that the DIFC Courts are also prepared to uphold interim measures, regardless of whether they are issued by tribunals based in the DIFC or elsewhere.

This paper is the third of a seven-part series on DIFC litigation and global enforcement & recovery, in the run up to the Dubai Arbitration Week 2024. To find out more, please register for the panel discussion on the litigation framework in the DIFC and its implications for global enforcement and recovery strategies on 11 November 2024, the opening day of the Dubai Arbitration Week 2024.
