Any Party may refer a dispute to arbitration by giving notice to the other Party that it seeks a matter in dispute to be referred to arbitration. The notice shall set out the matter in dispute in sufficient detail to enable the other Party to be adequately informed as to the nature of the dispute.

The President's decision on any further appointment shall be final. Any determination of the Arbitrator will be binding and shall not be reviewable in any Court of law except to the extent that it may involve an error of law.
