Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(710 ILCS 5/3) (from Ch. 10, par. 103)

Sec. 3.

Appointment
of arbitrators.

If the arbitration agreement provides a method of appointment of
arbitrators, this method shall be followed. In the absence thereof, any
method of appointment of arbitrators agreed upon by the parties to the
contract shall be followed. An arbitrator so appointed has all the powers
of one specifically named in the agreement. When an arbitrator appointed
fails or is unable to act, his successor shall be appointed in the same
manner as the original appointment. If the method of appointment of
arbitrators is not specified in the agreement and cannot be agreed upon by
the parties, the entire arbitration agreement shall terminate.
