There exists a binding arbitration agreement in Clauses 20.4-20.6 of the FIDIC Conditions complying with s9 AA 2005; the defendant applied for a stay before taking steps in the proceedings; the plaintiff failed to discharge the burden of proving the arbitration agreement is null, void, inoperative or incapable of being performed (impecuniosity and alleged bias do not meet the narrow statutory exceptions); accordingly a mandatory stay under s10(1) AA 2005 is ordered and the dispute is referred to arbitration.
