The arbitration clause was construed as a binding agreement to arbitrate in Hamburg; the defendant established grounds under s.44(2)(c) and (e) that it was unable to present its case and that the tribunal's composition did not accord with the parties' agreement or the law of the seat; however, the court exercised its discretion to allow the defendant to have its defence ventilated on condition that it pay into court HK$40,000 within seven days as security, dismissing the plaintiff's application if paid and granting the plaintiff leave to enforce if the defendant defaulted.
