41. The Minister, whenever he deems it advisable, or if required so to do by the claimants in any case hereinbefore mentioned, may, under the authority of the Government, submit any or all of such claims to arbitrators other than the official arbitrators, such arbitrators to be appointed as follows:
The claimant and the Minister shall each appoint an arbitrator; and such two arbitrators shall appoint a third; and, in case of disagreement, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by a judge of the Superior Court, on application of the other two arbitrators.
Such three arbitrators shall have the same powers as the official arbitrators for examining into and adjudicating upon such claim, for summoning before them, and hearing, swearing and examining witnesses, and for compelling the production of all papers and documents.
