- HCA2143/2008
Clause 19(a) is a valid domestic arbitration agreement; the statutory wage claim under the Employment Ordinance is outside the scope of clause 19(a) because it concerns statutory rights and the existence of employment relationships rather than construction contract interpretation; defendant's letters of 30 September 2008 constituted sufficient written requests to invoke arbitration so arbitration has commenced; plaintiff did not waive arbitration and the court must stay the defendant's counterclaim for arbitration.
