Abstract

If anti-suit injunction is not enforceable and without sanction in case of non-compliance, its issuance will be impractical and may be led to parallel proceedings, which causes waste of time, cost and issuance of contradictory awards for single subject. Then, status of this injunction in international commercial arbitration is discussable in terms of implementation and remedy of non-performance. Performance of the above injunction and remedy of it is not guaranteed in world court, because different legal systems have several approaches and New York convention is ambiguous and limited. Accepting and performing of this injunction for protecting of parties by arbitration tribunal prohibit simultaneous proceedings.
