Clause 12 was a valid arbitration clause; the defendant issued a binding decision letter (at latest 10 June 1999); the plaintiff failed to give the required written notice within 15 days and therefore lost the right to invoke arbitration but remained bound by the decision; accordingly the writ was stayed under s6 of the Arbitration Ordinance pending arbitration in Tokyo and the alternative application to set aside the writ was refused.
