Enforcement shall be granted as provided by the law applicable to the type of interim relief sought.\n(b)\tIn all other cases, a party shall seek interim relief under G.S. 1-567.47.\n(c)\tIn connection with an agreement to arbitrate or a pending arbitration, the court may grant, pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, any of the following:\n(1)\tAn order of attachment or garnishment.\n(2)\tA temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction.\n(3)\tAn order for claim and delivery.\n(4)\tThe appointment of a receiver.\n(5)\tDelivery of money or other property into court.\n(6)\tAny other order that may be necessary to ensure the preservation or availability either of assets or of documents, the destruction or absence of which would be likely to prejudice the conduct or effectiveness of the arbitration.\n(d)\tIn considering a request for interim relief or the enforcement of interim measures, the court shall give preclusive effect to any finding of fact of the arbitral tribunal in the proceeding, including the probable validity of the claim that is the subject of the interim relief sought or the interim measures granted.\n(e)\tWhere the arbitral tribunal has not ruled on an objection to its jurisdiction, the court shall not grant preclusive effect to the tribunal's findings until the court has made an independent finding as to the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal. If the court rules that the arbitral tribunal did not have jurisdiction, the application for interim relief or the enforcement of interim measures shall be denied. Such a ruling by the court that the arbitral tribunal lacks jurisdiction is not binding on the arbitral tribunal or subsequent judicial proceedings.\n(f)\tThe availability of interim relief under this section may be limited by prior written agreement of the parties in a record.
