XV. If in any Case of Arbitration the Document authorizing the Reference provide that the Reference shall be to a single Arbitrator, and all the Parties do not, after Differences have arisen, concur in the Appointment of an Arbitrator; or if any appointed Arbitrator refuse to act, or become incapable of acting, or die, and the Terms of such Document do not show that it was intended that such Vacancy should not be supplied, and the Parties do not concur in appointing a new one; or if, where the Parties or Two Arbitrators are at liberty to appoint an Umpire or Third Arbitrator, such Parties or Arbitrators do not appoint an Umpire or Third Arbitrator; or if any appointed Umpire or Third Arbitrator refuse to act, or become incapable of acting, or die, and the Terms of the Document authorizing the Reference do not show that it was intended that such a Vacancy should not be supplied, and the Parties or Arbitrators respectively do not appoint a new one; then in every such Instance any Party may serve the remaining Parties or the Arbitrators, as the Case may be, with a written Notice to appoint an Arbitrator, Umpire, or Third Arbitrator respectively; and if within Seven clear Days after such Notice shall have been served no Arbitrator, Umpire, or Third Arbitrator be appointed, it shall be lawful for the Court or any Judge of any of the Superior Courts of Law or Equity at Dublin, upon the Application of the Party having served such Notice as aforesaid, to appoint an Arbitrator, Umpire, or Third Arbitrator, as the Case may be, and such Arbitrator, Umpire, and Third Arbitrator respectively shall have the like Power to act in the Reference and make an Award as if he had been appointed by Consent of all Parties.
