Clause 25(b) is a valid arbitration agreement requiring disputes arising out of or connected with the Placement Memoranda to be referred to arbitration; a contractual time bar does not render the arbitration agreement inoperative because the tribunal can rule on time limits or extend time under s.2GD; there is a real dispute and the Plaintiff's claims fall within the clause; therefore the court must stay proceedings and refer the claims to arbitration.
