- HCA281/2022
The court found there was a valid agreement to arbitrate and that the Defendant had shown a prima facie case that the arbitration agreement was subsisting and not inoperative; the parties ultimately agreed to refer the dispute to the Chengdu Arbitration Commission (CAC) and had been capable of reaching a supplemental agreement earlier, so the action was stayed to arbitration on the agreed terms; costs of the stay application up to 20 June 2023 were ordered against the Plaintiff on an indemnity basis due to the Plaintiff's unreasonable conduct.
