METL AND CHINA DONGFENG RULING INJUNCTION INTER PARTES 5 1
The High Court has jurisdiction to grant interim injunctive relief pending arbitration, even where the seat of arbitration is outside Tanzania, as the alleged breaches occurred in Tanzania and the distributorship agreement allows recourse to courts for interim reliefs. The applicant satisfied the tests for granting an injunction: there is a serious question to be tried, irreparable harm would occur without the injunction, and the balance of convenience favors the applicant.
