Clause 22.1 constitutes a valid domestic arbitration agreement covering the disputes; Clause 22.3 does not nullify the agreement but suspends the arbitration procedure until completion of the Sub-contract work absent the main contractor's consent; therefore the court must stay the proceedings and refer the parties to arbitration, subject to the suspension in Clause 22.3; costs of the stay application are payable by the Plaintiff to the Defendant; no order as to costs of the substantive actions.
