Clause 26.1 does not constitute an arbitration agreement because it lacks an intention to produce a binding enforceable decision and the proposed panel (two party CEOs and an expert) cannot be impartial; the specific dispute resolution mechanism in clause 26 overrides the general PAM arbitration clause incorporated by clause 2, rendering any incorporated arbitration agreement inoperative under s.10; therefore no mandatory stay to arbitrate arises and the sessions court order must be set aside.
