Speciality Magnetics Limited v. Aglient Technologies UK Limited - Arbitration Act 1996

CANDEY successfully resisted an attempt by a defendant to a multi-million pound Commercial Court claim to argue that the claim should be stayed pursuant to s.9 of the Arbitration Act 1996 on the basis of a so-called arbitration clause in the underlying agreement. The judge, Sir Jeremy Cooke, produced the most recent authority on the point relying on his previous decision in Kruppa v Benedetti [2014] EWHC 1887 (Comm). Sir Jeremy said “the application for a stay must therefore fail and the Defendant must bear the costs”.

[2019] EHWC 1781 (Comm) Sir Jeremy Cooke.
