Where an arbitrator, not being a sole arbitrator, or two or more arbitrators, not being all of the arbitrators constituting an arbitral tribunal, is or are removed by the court, the appointing authority may, on the application of any party to the arbitration agreement, appoint a person to act as arbitrator in place of any arbitrator removed.
Where the authority of an arbitral tribunal is revoked by the court or a member thereof is removed by the court, the court may, on the application of any party to the arbitration agreement, either appoint a person to act as arbitrator in place of the person removed or order that the arbitration agreement shall cease to have effect with respect to the dispute referred.
A person appointed under this section by the appointing authority as an arbitrator shall have like power to act in the reference and to make an award as if he had been appointed in accordance with the terms of the arbitration agreement.
Where it is provided, whether by means of a provision in the arbitration agreement or otherwise, that an award under an arbitration agreement shall be a condition precedent to the bringing of an action with respect to any matter to which the agreement applies, the court, if it orders, whether under this section or under any other enactment, that the agreement shall cease to have effect as regards any particular dispute, may further order that the provision making an award a condition precedent to the bringing of an action shall also cease to have effect as regard to that dispute.
