The court held that the arbitration agreement in the PAM Contract remains valid and survivable despite Pustaka's liquidation and that the dispute over set-off falls within the arbitration clause; accordingly a mandatory stay under s10 AA 2005 was granted as to the 1st defendant. Proceedings against the 2nd–6th defendants (non-parties to the arbitration) were directed to proceed to trial, with the court exercising case-management to avoid injustice and duplication.
