An interim measure is any temporary measure by which, at any time prior to the issuance of the award by which the dispute is finally decided, the arbitral tribunal orders a party, for example and without limitation, to: (a) maintain or restore the status quo
pending determination of the dispute; (b) take action that would prevent, or refrain from taking action that is likely to cause, (i) current or imminent harm or (ii) prejudice to the arbitral process itself; (c) provide a means of
preserving assets out of which a subsequent award may be satisfied; or (d)
preserve evidence that may be relevant and material to the
resolution of the dispute.
