The court held the plaintiffs failed to show the arbitrators were plainly wrong or that a strong prima facie case of error existed; clause 35's joint appointment mechanism was technically inoperable after the dissolution of RICS (HK Branch), section 12 Cap.341 applied permitting HKIAC appointments, the respondents' prolonged silence amounted to concurrence, and the alleged disputes (including unpaid interim certificates) were arbitrable; therefore the summons was dismissed and leave to appeal refused.
