Tennessee Code Title 29. Remedies and Special Proceedings § 29-5-309

(1) The arbitrator may issue orders for provisional remedies, including interim awards, as the arbitrator finds necessary to protect the effectiveness of the arbitration proceeding and to promote the fair and expeditious resolution of the controversy, to the extent permitted by the agreement to arbitrate or by the rules of an arbitration organization provided in the agreement; and

(2) A party to an arbitration proceeding may move the court for a provisional remedy only if the matter is urgent and the arbitrator is not able to act timely or the arbitrator cannot provide an adequate remedy. The provisional remedy is limited to remedies calculated to preserve the parties' status quo pending appointment of and action by the arbitrator.
