內地法院協助香港仲裁進行保全——仲裁臨時措施與內地法院保全的比較

Mainland Courts Assist Hong Kong Arbitrations in Preservation-Comparison of Interim Measures in Arbitration with Preservation in Mainland Courts

2019年10月1日,《關於內地與香港特別行政區法院就仲裁程序相互協助保全的安排》(以下簡稱《保全安排》)正式生效:在此之前.香港仲裁程序的當事人如果希望針對內地的當事人獲得臨時救濟.在很大程度上要依賴仲裁規則賦予仲裁庭及/或緊急仲裁員的作出臨時措施的權力;從此以後.當事人則可以在中國大陸法院申請保全措施(包括財產保全、證據保全和行為保全)。

On October 1,2019,the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region hereinafter referred to as the“Preservation Arrangement” came into force.Prior to its promulgation,if a party to Hong Kong arbitral proceedings wished to obtain interim relief against a mainland party,they were to a large extent forced to rely upon the powers conferred upon arbitral tribunals and/or emergency arbitrators to issue interim measures under the applicable arbitration rules.Following the promulgation of the “Preservation Arrangement”,however,parties can now apply for preservation measures including property preservation orders,evidence preservation orders。
