The court found the arbitration clause covers the plaintiff's claims including payment disputes; the defendant established a prima facie arguable arbitration agreement and there was no overwhelming evidence of an unequivocal waiver or abandonment by the defendant; accordingly the court was required to stay the action and refer the parties to arbitration under s20 of the Arbitration Ordinance and ordered the plaintiff to pay the defendant's costs.
