Court found prima facie valid, binding and capable arbitration agreements in the relevant Letters of Award (including LA 24.8.2016 and the four LOAs with D2), resolved the apparent reference to a 'Regional Centre for Arbitration in Singapore' as falling within SIAC's ambit, and held that under s10 Arbitration Act 2005 the court must stay the court proceedings and refer the parties to arbitration; collateral factual disputes (Collaboration Agreement, agency/alter-ego, multiplicity) are matters for the arbitral tribunal (or trial) and not for determination at this interlocutory stage.
