Panel Outline – Hot Topics in Emergency Arbitration

Join SCC Head of Quality Evelina T. Wahlström for a panel discussion on emergency arbitration in connection with Swedish Arbitration Days.

Date: 11 September 2026

Time: 14.00–15.45

Location: Stockholm, Sweden

The SCC’s Emergency Procedure is 15 years old. This ground-breaking innovation has now been adopted by other arbitral institutions, but with significant differences.

This panel will explore key developments in the field, including:

• The threshold for “appropriate”, in particular regarding the standard of inadequately reparable harm
• The effectiveness of emergency orders in the absence of a formal enforcement mechanism and the nature of the obligations they give rise to
• Comparison to other regimes
• Are ex parte procedures either necessary or suitable for arbitration?

The event will take place, at Cecil Coworking, Norrlandsgatan 10, Stockholm, within walking distance of the Grand Hotel.
