- HCA1916/2005
Clause 2 was too uncertain to constitute an enforceable arbitration or exclusive jurisdiction clause; there was no evidence of any existing dispute capable of referral to arbitration; Hong Kong was the natural and appropriate forum given the connections and practicalities; accordingly the 1st defendant's application to stay proceedings failed and was dismissed with costs.
