The SC held that where the insurer denied liability in toto, the clause was inapplicable because it was expressly conditional on admitted liability and excluded disputes where liability was not accepted under the policy. The insurer's communication amounting to full repudiation therefore took the matter outside the arbitration agreement, leaving the insured to pursue a civil suit.
