The High Court granted Shein’s application to stay proceedings pending arbitration, and denied the claimants’ application for an injunction to stay that arbitration. As to the anti-arbitration injunction, the Court noted that UK courts will grant such injunctions only in exceptional circumstances, which did not obtain here as the arbitration was not vexatious, oppressive or unconscionable, nor did it infringe the claimants’ legal or equitable rights. As to the stay application, the Court found that it could not reach a decision on whether a valid contract and arbitration agreement existed between the parties based on the incomplete record before it, and concluded that these issues were best determined in arbitration.
