The application for a stay was dismissed because the arbitration clause was not engaged: no written decision had been made by the Architects as a contractual precondition and the rent dispute was not sufficiently connected with any one of the four separate 700 series contracts; additionally, in the exercise of the court's discretion the risk of multiplicity of arbitrations and inconsistent proceedings justified refusing a stay.
