The judge had jurisdiction to entertain the stay application because the parties jointly requested the judge to deal with the substantive summons afresh and thereby waived the procedural irregularity arising from the way the matter came before the court; the stay granted under s20 of the Arbitration Ordinance is not a proper subject for appeal pursuant to s20(8); accordingly leave to appeal was refused and costs on an indemnity basis were awarded to the defendant in the sum fixed by the court.
