The parties were partners, and the partnership agreement contained provisions for arbitration. The claimant had begun proceedings, and the defendant had filed a defence. The claimants then applied to amend their particulars of claim. The defendant sought a stay saying this revived his entitlement him to require the case to be referred to arbitration.
Held: The introduction of the new issue, but one which was part and parcel of the matter already before the court, did not allow a stay.
