Article 18 MEASURES OF PROTECTION

The party which obtains a measure of protection from the judicial authorities, shall promptly notify the Secretariat that such a measure has been taken. The Secretariat shall promptly inform the arbitrator thereof and, if necessary, the other party.

Article 19 URGENT MEASURES

1.  Unless the parties have agreed otherwise, the arbitrator may, at the request of the interested party and within the limits imposed by law, adopt urgent measures on matters within the parties' power, and eventually impose a guaranty upon the petitioning party and determine a penalty for failure to comply.
The measure is taken by an order which can be modified or revoked in the course of the proceedings and shall remain in force until the award is decided, unless a shorter time-limit is indicated therein.
