The Court held there was a valid ad hoc arbitration by consensus evidenced by nomination, acceptance, preliminary meeting, directions and pleadings; misdescription of the contracting name did not vitiate the reference given the parties' conduct and acquiescence; alleged procedural errors were not pleaded or pursued and did not amount to misconduct; the arbitrator was entitled to waive his lien and the costs award was valid; appeal dismissed.
