(1) If in any case an arbitrator or umpire refuses to deliver his or her award except on payment of the fees demanded by him or her, the Court may, on an application for the purpose, order that the arbitrator or umpire shall deliver the award to the applicant on payment into Court by the applicant of the fees demanded, and further that the fees demanded shall be taxed by the Registrar of the Court and that out of the money paid into Court there shall be paid out to the arbitrator or umpire by way of fees such sum as may be found reasonable on taxation and that the balance of the money (if any) shall be paid out to the applicant.
(2) An application for the purposes of this section may be made by any party to the reference unless the fees demanded have been fixed by a written agreement between him or her and the arbitrator or umpire.
(3) A taxation of fees under this section may be reviewed in the same manner as a taxation of costs.
(4) The arbitrator or umpire shall be entitled to appear and be heard on any taxation or review under this section.
