The court held that the plaintiff's reimbursement claim under the Employment Ordinance is inextricably connected to the contractual disputes under the subcontracts and therefore falls within the scope of the broadly drafted arbitration clause (clause 18); accordingly the Hong Kong proceedings were stayed pending arbitration and costs were awarded to the successful party on a common fund basis.
