§ 34-57-2-4 — Appointment of arbitrators by agreement or by court

If the arbitration agreement provides a method
of appointment of arbitrators, this method shall be followed. In the
absence of such an agreement, any method of appointment of
arbitrators agreed upon by the parties to the contract shall be followed.
When an arbitrator appointed fails or is unable to act, a 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 can not be agreed upon by the parties, or if agreed method fails or
for any reason can not be followed, or if an arbitrator appointed fails or
is unable to act and a successor has not been appointed within a
reasonable time, the court on application of a party shall appoint one
(1) or more arbitrators, who have all the powers of an arbitrator
appointed according to the agreement.
