The court refused the O.14 summary judgment and granted a stay in favour of arbitration because the defendant had arguable grounds for disputing the claim (including a bona fide set-off defence and issues over the construction of the pay‑when‑paid/payment‑on‑certificate clause) and the parties had agreed to resolve such disputes by arbitration, so the court should not determine the matter first.
