1. The respondent Cargo-owners brought an action in the High Court against the appellant Ship-owners for damages arising out of rust damage to a consignment of steel plates. The Ship-owners sought a stay of that action on the ground that the relevant Bills of Lading contained a clause requiring adjudication of disputes in the District Court of Tokyo. The judge refused a stay and the Ship-owners now appeal.
