The arbitration agreement is not null and void under section 31 ECO and, because the agreement is governed by the Model Law, Article 8(1) requires a mandatory stay and referral to arbitration; sections 18A and 21 ECO do not render EC claims inarbitrable since their exclusivity relates to courts and judicial proceedings and does not oust arbitrability.
