Appointment of arbitrators by court
If the arbitration agreement provides a method of appointment of arbitrators,  this method shall be followed. In the absence thereof,  or if the agreed method fails or for any reason cannot be followed,  or when an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable to act and his successor has not been duly appointed,  the court on application of a party shall appoint one or more arbitrators. An arbitrator so appointed has all the powers of one specifically named in the agreement.

Hearing
Unless otherwise provided by the agreement:
1. The arbitrators shall appoint a time and place for the hearing and cause notification to the parties to be served personally or by registered mail not less than five days before the hearing.

The arbitrators may adjourn the hearing from time to time as necessary and,  on request of a party and for good cause,  or upon their own motion,  may postpone the hearing to a time not later than the date fixed by the agreement for making the award unless the parties consent to a later date. The arbitrators may hear and determine the controversy upon the evidence produced notwithstanding the failure of a party duly notified to appear. The court on application may direct the arbitrators to proceed promptly with the hearing and determination of the controversy.
2. The parties are entitled to be heard,  to present evidence material to the controversy and to cross-examine witnesses appearing at the hearing.
3. The hearing shall be conducted by all the arbitrators but a majority may determine any question and render a final award. If,  during the course of the hearing,  an arbitrator for any reason ceases to act,  the remaining arbitrator or arbitrators appointed to act as neutrals may continue with the hearing and determination of the controversy.

5. There was no arbitration agreement and the issue was not adversely determined in proceedings under section 12-1502 and the adverse party did not participate in the arbitration hearing without raising the objection;  but the fact that the relief was such that it could not or would not be granted by a court of law or equity is not ground for vacating or refusing to confirm the award.

In declining to confirm an award on grounds other than stated in paragraph 5 of subsection A the court may order a rehearing before new arbitrators chosen as provided in the agreement,  or in the absence thereof,  by the court in accordance with section 12-1503,  or if the court declines to confirm the award on grounds set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4 of subsection A the court may order a rehearing before the arbitrators who made the award or their successors appointed in accordance with section 12-1503.
