Chimezie Onuzulike, Associate at G. Elias & Co, in his article, An Appraisal of the Concept of Anti-Suit Injunction in International Arbitration, explains that Anti-suit injunctions are orders of national courts usually granted in common law jurisdictions, restraining a party from commencing an action concerning a dispute subject to an arbitration agreement or continuing one already commenced in defiance of an arbitration agreement. He reviews the stance of courts in relation to the grant of anti-suit injunctions. He argues that while anti-suit injunctions may not engender controversies in domestic arbitrations where a party institutes or intends to institute an action in national courts, the situation is different in international arbitration since such an injunction may be considered as an interference with the judicial process of a foreign sovereign state. Chimezie reviews the decision of the English Court in Specialised Vessel Services Ltd v Mop Marine Nigeria Limited and stresses the importance of anti-suit injunctions in protecting arbitration agreements in both international and domestic arbitrations.
