- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCCT73/2003
The arbitration was statutory because the Solicitors (Professional Indemnity) Rules made under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance created the dispute resolution scheme (rule 13) and were subsidiary legislation; section 2AB(3) excludes section 26 from applying to statutory arbitrations, therefore the Court lacked jurisdiction under section 26(2) to order the arbitration agreement cease and the claimant's originating motion was dismissed.
