Law of Arbitration

1. An arbitrator shall have no vested interest in the dispute. He shall also disclose to the arbitration parties in writing, from the time of his appointment and throughout the arbitration proceedings, any circumstances likely to give rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence, unless he has already informed them thereof. 2. An arbitrator shall be barred from considering or hearing a case for the same reasons for which a judge is barred, even if neither arbitration party so requests. 3. An arbitrator may not be disqualified except in the presence of circumstances giving rise to justifiable doubts as to his impartiality or independence, or if he lacks the qualifications agreed upon by the arbitration parties, without prejudice to the provisions of Article 14 of this Law. 4. Neither arbitration party may disqualify an arbitrator appointed by him, or in whose appointment he participated, except for reasons that become known after the appointment of such arbitrator.
