- HCCT38/1994
The court granted a stay because the core disputes about re-entry, repudiation and the legal effect on contractual obligations fall within the parties\' agreed dispute resolution procedure (mediation/conciliation then arbitration); allowing litigation would be oppressive and risk multiplicity of proceedings, and the arbitrator should determine any questions of jurisdiction and the parties\' rights inter se before any separate proceedings involving the bank are brought.
