The right route, chosen for speed
Emergency arbitrator or court, by which can bind in time.
Emergency-arbitrator and interim measures to hold the position when waiting for the tribunal would defeat the purpose of the case.
Arbitration takes time to constitute a tribunal, and some harm will not wait that long. An asset about to move, evidence about to disappear, a status quo about to break - these need relief inside the arbitral process, from an emergency arbitrator or from the court in support of the arbitration. The firm secures and resists that relief.
The firm moves on the same logic as urgent court relief: a prima facie case, a real risk of harm that cannot be undone, and speed, all assembled under pressure. It chooses the right route - emergency arbitrator or court - by which one can actually bind the asset or the party in time. It coordinates the interim step with the endgame, so relief now supports enforcement later.

The application built and filed in the window that matters.
Interim relief aligned with eventual enforcement.
A party in an arbitration that is not yet fully constituted faces the imminent movement of an asset central to the claim. The firm applies for emergency relief to hold the position, choosing between the emergency-arbitrator route and the court by which can bind the asset in time, and aligns the step with the enforcement of any future award.

Often yes, through an emergency-arbitrator procedure under the applicable rules or through the court in support of the arbitration, where waiting for the full tribunal would cause irreversible harm.
A decision-maker appointed on an expedited basis, before the full tribunal is constituted, to grant urgent interim relief that holds the position until the tribunal can take over.
They can be, and where the tribunal's own measures need coercive force, the court can be asked to support them; coordinating the two is part of making interim relief actually bite.
