Article 4.25 Interim Relief and Limited Defences

(a) (1) Nothing in this Chapter shall prevent either party from seeking urgent interim or conservatory relief from an emergency arbitrator or arbitral tribunal, where available under the applicable arbitration rules.

(b) (2) Participation in arbitration pursuant to this Chapter shall constitute an express agreement by the Operator and any other official body or representative of the ICT that they may be named as a party, that the arbitral tribunal has jurisdiction, and that they shall not assert any defence based on status, function, or public character to resist jurisdiction, admissibility, or enforcement, save where such defence is expressly preserved by mandatory law.

(c) (3) Any enforcement of an arbitral award shall be subject only to such limitations as are strictly required by mandatory law and shall not be frustrated by reliance on internal administrative or regulatory characterisations.
