The arbitration clause manifested a clear mutual intention to arbitrate disputes in a third country; the reference to a non-existent arbitration association does not nullify or render the clause inoperative or incapable of performance because the arbitration can proceed under the law of the chosen third country; accordingly the court was obliged under Article 8 of the Model Law to stay the proceedings and refer the parties to arbitration.
