Haiwen Successfully Resists Injunction Application in Emergency Arbitration
海问律师事务所欣喜地宣布,由合伙人刘洋律师、高级律师丘恺曈以及律师潘竞雄组成的香港争议解决团队,成功反对了申请人在香港国际仲裁中心(HKIAC)紧急仲裁中提出的禁令申请。这宗与加密货币和矿场有关的数百万美元高价值索赔案,最终由于申请人未能获得临时禁令而被撤回,不过被申请人仍在继续推进其反索赔。
Haiwen is pleased to report that its Dispute Resolution Team in Hong Kong, comprising partner Edward Liu, Senior Associate Vinca Yau, and Associate Richard Poon, successfully resisted an application by the claimant for a prohibitory injunction in an emergency arbitration before the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC). This high-value, multi-million dollar claim related to cryptocurrency and mining farms.  The claim was subsequently discontinued by the claimant after the failed injunction application, though the counterclaim is being pursued by the respondents.
全球主要的国际仲裁机构,包括HKIAC、新加坡国际仲裁中心和伦敦国际仲裁院等,都允许当事人通过紧急仲裁程序在组成仲裁庭之前获得临时救济,而无需向法院提出申请。这种临时救济通常采取冻结被申请人资产或禁止其采取不利于申请人的行动等形式的禁令。
Emergency arbitration procedures are available in most major international arbitration institutions, including the HKIAC, Singapore International Arbitration Centre, and the London Court of International Arbitration. These procedures allow claimants to obtain interim relief before a tribunal is constituted, without going to court. Such interim relief often takes the form of injunctions to freeze respondents' assets or orders to prevent respondents from taking actions adverse to claimants.
在本案中,刘洋律师承担了聆讯的实质性辩护工作,并带领海问项目组起草所有书面材料。整个紧急程序及实体聆讯均以中文进行,海问争议解决团队在紧迫的时间表下有力驳回了申请人的申请,并协助客户成功追回大量法律费用。申请人循例由大律师代理。
In this case, Edward Liu personally conducted the advocacy for the substantive hearing and led the team in drafting all written submissions in-house. Both the written and oral proceedings were conducted in Mandarin Chinese. Importantly, as with all injunction proceedings, the turnaround time was brief. The team was able to forcefully resist the application and recover a high level of costs from the claimant within the short time frame. As usual, the claimant was represented by a barrister. 
除了在商业、金融和海事争议方面的专长,海问香港争议解决项目组在加密货币领域也积累了丰富经验,包括处理以加密货币和挖矿设备为抵押品的贷款,以及应对加密货币的欺诈性转移等。此外,项目组还经常协助客户处理与加密货币有关的非诉讼事项,如交易文件的起草等。
In addition to their expertise in commercial, financial, and maritime disputes, Haiwen Hong Kong's Dispute Resolution Team has increasing experience in cryptocurrency-related matters, including loans and collateral in the form of cryptocurrency and mining machines, as well as the fraudulent transfer of cryptocurrency. The team also regularly assists clients with non-contentious cryptocurrency-related transactional document drafting.
