Anti-suit injunctions are orders restraining a party from commencing or continuing proceedings before a state court and can be issued by a court or arbitral tribunal. The book examines if and when anti-suit injunctions can be ordered and contemplates their legal conformity. It deals with jurisdictions familiar with anti-suit injunctions (e.g. England and USA) and compares it with the legal setting in Switzerland.

This is a new volume in our acclaimed International Arbitration and Commerce series which provides a thorough analysis of the use of anti-suit injunctions in common law and civil law jurisdictions.
