Abstract: This article deals with the relationship between the temporary reliefs and arbitration, with special focus on the innovations of the new Code of Civil Procedure and the changes in the Arbitration Act. In order to do so, first, a brief summary of the subject of temporary reliefs by the new Code of Civil Procedure is made, which is applicable to national and eventually international arbitrations. Secondly, the paper examines the recent changes of the Arbitration Law, whose new text establishes two phases, with two competent authorities for the granting of early reliefs: before the arbitration is instituted, the request is addressed to the courts; after the constituted arbitration, the request is directed to the arbitrator. At the end, an examination of the applicability of such devices is carried out and, also, decisions of the Brazilian courts on the subject are analyzed.
