Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London v Sancheti [2008] EWCA Civ 1283, [2008] All ER (D) 204 (Nov)
A stay under s 9 of the Arbitration Act 1996 can only be obtained against a party to an arbitration agreement, or a person claiming through or under such a party; a mere legal or commercial connection is not sufficient (Roussel-Uclaf v GD Searle & Co [1978] 1 Lloyd’s Rep 225 not followed).
