ABSTRACT: The paper discusses the possibility of recognition and enforcement in Brazil through rogatory letter of interim relief granted by foreign arbitrators and arbitral tribunals. As such, it analyses the historical evolution of rogatory letters focusing mainly on the possibility to grant exequatur to those providing for executory measures. The paper then addresses the changes brought forth by the recent amendment to Brazil’s Code of Civil Procedure. Coming to arbitration, it analyses if the concepts previously established are compatible with arbitration. At last, the paper concludes that interim relief granted abroad by arbitral tribunals are enforceable in Brazil by means of rogatory letters.
