- High Court
The Court must stay the proceedings and refer the parties to arbitration under Article 8(1) because the arbitration clause validly covers the dispute and the defendant had not made a disqualifying 'first statement on the substance of the dispute' or otherwise waived the right to arbitrate; interim without‑notice orders remain appropriate and continue until the final arbitral award subject to any tribunal alteration and specified court conditions.
