Filing an application to disqualify the plaintiff's solicitors and subsequently filing a statement of defence with a counter-claim (without a clear and unequivocal reservation of the right to arbitrate) constituted 'steps in the proceedings' under s10(1) Arbitration Act 2005, thereby disqualifying the defendant from obtaining a stay to refer the dispute to arbitration; the High Court's dismissal of the stay application was correct and the appeal was dismissed.
