Our Partner, Simon Wong, and Trainee Solicitor, Sera Cheng, have co-authored an article examining the recent Hong Kong Court of First Instance decision in W v GH [2026] HKCFI 2966.

The decision provides important guidance on the enforcement of emergency arbitrator orders under section 22B of the Arbitration Ordinance (Cap. 609). It confirms Hong Kong’s strong support for emergency arbitration while making clear that emergency measures are interim in nature and should not be treated as final arbitral awards.

The article also explores the Court’s approach to challenges against enforcement, stays of enforcement, and the practical implications for parties seeking or resisting emergency relief in Hong Kong-seated arbitrations.
