1. The parties are involved in the construction industry. The plaintiff is taking proceedings against the defendant to recover money. The defendant now applies for a stay of the proceedings on the grounds that the dispute between the parties is subject to an arbitration agreement. I heard this matter on 22 January 1998. I granted the stay with costs. I said I would hand down my reasons later. These are those reasons.
