If the bodies fail to agree on the choice of a new arbitrator, they must ask the body referred to in the first paragraph of section 153 to designate a new arbitrator within 5 business days of the expiry of the time limit for choosing a new arbitrator themselves.
An arbitrator whose mandate is terminated must transfer the entire case to the new arbitrator as soon as possible, as agreed with the new arbitrator.
