- HCA3244/1988
The recital and express wording of the 1980 Agreement incorporated the terms of the First Principal Agreement, including the broad arbitration clause 14(2); the tortious claim and alleged breaches arise out of or in connection with the 1980 Agreement and thus fall within the arbitration clause; the plaintiff's failure to identify the Brunei law alleged also weakens any contention that the tort claim lies outside arbitration; accordingly the action must be stayed under s6A.
