On October 8, Shanghai Maritime Court received a case in which a party in Hong Kong arbitral proceedings applied for interim measure, and the application was upheld by the court on the same day after examination. This is the first case since Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region came into effect on October 1. （Translated by LiJia chun）
