22 Arbitrator may terminate arbitration in certain cases (1) The arbitrator may at any time terminate an arbitration (without making an award) if the arbitrator thinks that: (a) the subject matter of the dispute is trivial, misconceived or lacking in substance; (b) the person seeking arbitration of the dispute has not negotiated in good faith or is acting unreasonably; or (c) the arbitrator is satisfied, on an application of a party to the dispute, that there are good reasons why the arbitration should be terminated. (2) The arbitrator may also, at any time, terminate an arbitration (without making an award), with the consent of the parties to the arbitration. (3) If the arbitrator terminates an arbitration under subclause (1) without making an award, the arbitrator must give the parties to the arbitration and the regulator the arbitrator’s reasons for terminating the arbitration.
