Commercial Arbitration Act 1984 - SECT 54

Interpleader

54. Interpleader

Where relief by way of interpleader is granted in any court and it appears to
that court that the claims in question are matters to which an arbitration
agreement (to which the claimants are parties) applies, the court may, unless
it is satisfied that there is sufficient reason why the matters should not be
referred to arbitration in accordance with the agreement, make an order
directing the issue between the claimants to be determined in accordance with
the agreement.
