- HCA1725/2019
Clause 22 of the Articles is prima facie broad enough to encompass the Plaintiff's claims which are connected to the Sub-subcontract; there is a prima facie arbitration agreement between the Plaintiff and the 4th Defendant and under section 20 of the Arbitration Ordinance the Court must refer the parties to arbitration. The action against the remaining Defendants is stayed as a matter of case management because their liability is contingent on the outcome of the arbitration and there is overlap of factual issues creating risk of duplication and conflicting outcomes.
