If the parties cannot agree on a choice of arbitrator within 15 days following the issue of the notice, the sole arbitrator will be named by a judge from the court of competent jurisdiction in the judicial district of Quebec. The arbitral ruling will be final, without possible appeal, and binding on all parties for all legal purposes and must be made in a timely manner.
