Method of appointing arbitrator
Official statutory text
A. If the parties to an arbitration agreement agree on a method
for appointing an arbitrator, that method shall be followed, unless
the method fails. If the parties have not agreed on a method, the
agreed method fails, or an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable
to act and a successor has not been appointed, the Commission, on
motion of a party to the arbitration proceeding, shall appoint the
arbitrator. An arbitrator appointed by the Commission has all the
powers of an arbitrator designated by the arbitration agreement.
B. An individual who has a known, direct, and material interest
in the outcome of the arbitration proceeding, or a known, existing,
and substantial relationship with a party to the arbitration
proceeding, may not serve as an arbitrator unless agreed to in
writing by the parties.
