The court has jurisdiction under s.15(3) to remove an arbitrator for failure to use all reasonable dispatch if that failure existed at the date of the originating summons; the fact that the arbitrator thereafter published an award and thereby became functus officio does not oust the court's jurisdiction, and removal may be made effective from the date the proceedings were commenced.
