IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE (CIVIL)Arbitration Stay Application • January 22nd, 2019
[1] MOISE, M.: Before me are three applications. The 1st defendant has applied for a stay of the proceedings pending the outcome of arbitration pursuant to rule 10.3(4) of the Civil Procedure Rules 2000 (CPR) and the BVI Arbitration Act 2013. The 2nd defendant has filed an application requesting that the claim against it be struck out on the grounds that the court has no jurisdiction to entertain the claim and the pleadings disclose no reasonable grounds for bringing the claim in the first place. The 3rd defendant’s application is for an order to be removed as a party to the claim. For the most part, this application is based on the same premise as that of the 2nd defendant.
