AI confidence in this overview: medium
This dispute concerns Sinosure's claim on a US$66,500,000 promissory note issued by Emerald and Emerald's application that the English court has no jurisdiction or should stay the proceedings because they are covered by an arbitration agreement or should be stayed under the court's inherent jurisdiction. The Note contains an English-law, non‑exclusive jurisdiction clause; Emerald argued the claim fell to arbitration and/or should be stayed. The court refused Emerald's jurisdictional challenge to the Second Claim and refused its applications for a stay.
