	UNCITRAL MODEL LAW -- CLOUT ABSTRACTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The court found that the defendant had failed to honour its obligation under the arbitration agreement and appoint an arbitrator and that the defendant's conduct was such that it was proper that the plaintiff should be placed in a position in which it would have been if the defendant had honoured its obligation.
		The Court of Appeal found that the same policy considerations existing in favour of a mandatory legislative requirement that a dispute subject to an arbitration agreement be referred to arbitration seem to be conclusively in favour of the staying of litigation of the same issues until the issuance of an arbitral award.
		The court did not concur with the plaintiff's position that its submission in its statement of defence before the arbitral tribunal that it was not the legal successor and did not recognize itself as a party to the contract should be considered an objection to the jurisdiction of the arbitral tribunal.

		Misterio said the High Court of Hong Kong-Special Administrative Region (SAR) has ruled that the HK$400 levy imposed on employers per month and the reduction of the minimum allowable wage of foreign domestic helpers from HK$3,670 to HK$3,270 per month are both reasonable and lawful.

		Tomas' suspension of deployment of new hires to Hong Kong on March 10-31, 2003 was meant to protect the interest and welfare of the OFWs as the DOLE found the decision of the HK government to reduce the minimum allowable wage of foreign DHs by HK$400 unjust and discriminatory.
