Commentary on Sections Schedule 1 – Scottish Arbitration Rules Rule 18 – Arbitrators nominated in arbitration agreements Default
131.Rule 18 is a default rule, in the absence of agreement to the contrary between the parties, that any provision in an arbitration agreement which nominates a particular individual as a tribunal member has no effect when their tenure comes to an end (see rule 9). The original arbitrator can, however, be appointed again if there are further disputes which invoke the arbitration agreement.
