The Registrar shall, on receipt of a reference under subsection (1), refer it for disposal to an arbitrator or arbitrators.
Any party aggrieved by the award of the arbitrator or arbitrators may appeal therefrom to the Registrar within such period and in such manner as may be prescribed.
A decision of the Registrar on an appeal under subsection (3) shall be final and shall not be called in question in any court.
The award of the arbitrator or arbitrators under subsection (2) shall, if no appeal is referred to the Registrar under subsection (3), or if any such appeal is abandoned or withdrawn, be final and shall not be called in question in any court and shall be enforced in the same manner in all respects as if the award had been a judgment of the Grand Court.
