When a party applies to the court to appoint an arbitrator, after some long delay, the court should consider whether first the dispute was likely to be resolved by the arbitration process, and second whether the delay was undue. The Act was intended to assist the process of arbitration, and should be used accordingly. In this case both the request for arbitration and the application remained within the limitation period.
