Youell v La Reunion Aerienne [2009] EWCA Civ 175; [2009] WLR (D) 95
“Where a court could otherwise determine the substance of a claim, the mere fact that the claim was the subject of an arbitration agreement did not deprive the court of its jurisdiction under Council Regulation (EC) 44/2001 on jurisdiction and the recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters. What was critical was the nature of the claim.”

“A judge had no power to alter the Civil Procedure Rules either by a judgment or practice direction or to vary or alter any practice direction which was binding on the court to which it was directed. Where there was a gap in the Rules or practice directions pending the giving of a practice direction, a judge had inherent jurisdiction to include procedural directions of general application in his judgment.”
