Article 16(3) of the Model Law, as incorporated into Hong Kong law by s13B of the Arbitration Ordinance, means a tribunal's ruling on its jurisdiction is a preliminary ruling that removes the right of appeal; the plaintiff's declaratory summons was a procedural error and an abuse of process while the arbitrator was seized of jurisdiction, therefore the declaration is dismissed, the defendant's strike out summons is granted and costs follow as ordered.
