The arbitrator was removed because his failure to disclose a long-standing close relationship with the respondents' representative created an appearance of bias which made his continuation untenable; the arbitration agreement was not declared void and the arbitration will continue with a newly appointed arbitrator; costs thrown away by the change of arbitrator were ordered against the respondents, and the originating motion costs were apportioned with costs up to 20 October to applicants and thereafter shared (respondents to bear their own costs and 50% of applicants' costs).
