The defendants brought a motion to stay the plaintiffs' action and refer the dispute to arbitration in Dubai, relying on the International Commercial Arbitration Act, 2017.
The dispute involved a shareholding agreement for a radiology clinic in Dubai, which contained an arbitration clause, and a related one-page guarantee document.
The court found that the claims arguably fell within the scope of the arbitration agreement and that the arbitrator should determine their own jurisdiction.
The motion was granted and the action was stayed.
